Updating Multiple Multi-Reference Fields in Webflow CMS

How To
, , ,

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a Memberstack template and I’m trying to adapt it to my needs, but I’m having trouble modifying the provided scenario.

In block 27, I want to set up multiple variables instead of just one. Currently, this part updates a single multi-reference field in a Webflow CMS item, but I need to update six multi-reference fields at once.

I can’t find a way to achieve this. Does anyone have any tips or solutions?

Thanks in advance!

This is the scenario:
Add + Update Members.json (268.4 KB)

Are you not able to map an array directly into the fields?

Hi,

The array looks like that at first:

67bf44287182d1423466d631, 67bf437fc5832faee9548170, 67bf42d1533813cb08c6fb90

And I need it to be like that for the webflow API call:

        "skills": [
          "67bf2ffc7cabfcc2fe46a070",
          "67bf2fbd185e80560683666b",
          "670e6bad3ced88ad68329944"
        ],

Looks like you’ll have to use the universal module to update items containing multi-references, since the reference field only accepts a single ID.

You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under App improvement ideas

Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
