Create Dynamic Select Menus from Your Webflow CMS Data

Now that Webflow has released the Custom Element feature, also known as the DOM element, you can add Webflow CMS data into Form Select fields without code.

Everyone, just use the drop-down element. I was able to figure it out. then I looped the rental categories and set the link to 'Current [category]'.

Thank you for this solution.

I have a problem, my aim is for the select to be populated with countries cms collection (279 items) but webflow limits us to 100 items.

I tried finsweet cms load but it doesn’t work when nested in the custom element.

Any solutions you know of?

What if there are repeated options in the select field? For example, I am designing a real estate website and many listings have 1 bedroom. The select field shows "1" option repeatedly.

It is so not intuitive, I would love it if this was an integrated option within Webflow but we will have to wait. Thank you for the amazing tutorial.

seems that this does not work on Edge and Arc Browser. On this Browsers there are no Options showing. Safari, Firefox and Chrome works fine. Any workaround for this?

I have a question. I have to enter Value for the custom attribute. But it shows me "This is a reserved name". What can I do?

How would you do this with a pricing toggle that's connected to a CMS? My client wants to edit their pricing fully from the CMS. It would be a dropdown with the amount of actions the product can do and the price would change according to the actions. I would absolutely value your help on this my man.

Hey, how is your CMS set up, because im getting a completely different result. (everything is cramped onto one line.) Also ive been looking for a multiselect form but so far nothing. It works if i ctrl+click multiple of them but its not very user intuitive. I would much appreciate if you respond to me.
