How can I remove the "not items found" message in the Multi Images field in Webflow? What should I enter in the Image settings under custom attributes?

TL;DR
  • Ensure the Multi-Image field is correctly connected within the Collection Item context.
  • Apply Conditional Visibility so elements only appear if the Multi-Image field has content.
  • Delete or set the “No Items” block to display: none to hide the fallback message.
  • Add custom attributes (e.g., for lazy loading) only if enhancing image behavior, not for hiding content.

If you're seeing a "No items found" message when using the Multi-Image field in a Webflow Collection, it usually appears because the Collection has no images or the dynamic list isn't correctly bound. Webflow does not provide a direct text field or setting to change this fallback message within the Designer UI.

Here's how you can effectively remove or hide the "No items found" message using custom attributes or conditional visibility:

1. Ensure You’ve Connected the Multi-Image Field

  • Select the Collection List that is meant to display the multi-images.
  • In the Element Settings panel, check that it's properly connected to a Multi-Image field from a CMS Collection Item.
  • Multi-image fields only show up when used inside a Collection Item context.

2. Use Conditional Visibility to Hide When Empty

  • Select the Collection List Wrapper or the element showing the "No items found" message (often a default fallback message).
  • In the Element Settings panel, set a Conditional Visibility rule:
  • Set condition: Multi-Image Field → Is set
  • This makes sure the element only appears if the Multi-Image field has content.

3. Customize or Remove the Empty State Message

  • Webflow auto-generates the “No items found” block when you add a Collection List.
  • Click the "No Items" placeholder in the Collection List.
  • Either delete this element entirely or style it as display:none to hide:
  • Select the "No Items" element.
  • Go to Style panel, set Display: None.

4. Use Custom Attributes (If Needed for Lazy Loading Plugins)

  • If you're not trying to remove the fallback message but instead want to improve how images are rendered (e.g., for lazy loading or lightbox plugins), you can add custom attributes to each image inside the Collection List.
  • To do this, select the Image element within your Multi-Image Collection List, and in the Element Settings panel under Custom Attributes, add fields like:
  • Attribute Name: loading  | Value: lazy
  • Attribute Name: data-lightbox | Value: your lightbox group name

Summary

To remove or hide the "No items found" message in a Multi-Image field setup:

  • Ensure your Multi-Image field is properly connected inside the Collection Item.
  • Use Conditional Visibility to check if the Multi-Image field is set.
  • Delete or hide the default “No Items” block inside the Collection List.
  • Use custom attributes only if you're enhancing images (not for hiding the message itself).
