What is the process of displaying CMS Collection Item Fields as editable input fields using an HTML Embed in Webflow?

To display CMS Collection Item Fields as editable input fields using an HTML Embed in Webflow, you need to embed dynamic CMS field values inside custom <input> elements. Follow these steps:

1. Add an HTML Embed Inside a Collection List

• Drag an “HTML Embed” element inside your Collection List.
• This will allow you to insert custom HTML for each Collection Item.

2. Use CMS Fields Inside Input Elements

• In the HTML Embed, write an input element and insert CMS fields as dynamic attributes.
• Example:
  ```html
  
  ```
• Webflow will replace {{wf {...} }} with the actual CMS data when rendering the page.

3. Ensure the Inputs are Editable

• Webflow binds CMS fields as read-only in the embed by default.
• To make inputs user-editable, remove the disabled or readonly attributes.

4. Styling the Inputs

• Use Webflow’s Designer or custom CSS to style input fields inside the Collection.

5. Collect User Input (Optional)

• If you need to capture user input, add a Webflow form or use custom JavaScript to send data to a backend (e.g., Webflow Logic, Zapier, or an API).

Summary

To make CMS fields editable, use an HTML Embed inside a Collection List and insert dynamic CMS field values inside <input> elements. However, Webflow does not support saving changes directly—handling user input requires an external integration.
