How Wicked CMS edits each Webflow CMS field type
View as Markdown

Wicked CMS renders a field editor appropriate to each field in your Webflow collection schema. Read-only fields (such as system-managed values) appear disabled.

Rich text editing

Rich text fields include a formatting toolbar with:

  • Bold and italic
  • Paragraph and heading styles
  • Bullet and numbered lists
  • Block quotes
  • Links — insert and remove hyperlinks
  • Images — upload an image and set its alt text, position, size, and caption
  • HTML embeds — insert custom embed code
  • A fullscreen toggle for distraction-free editing

Use the toolbar buttons to format content. Changes are saved when you click Save or published with Publish.

Reference fields

Reference and multi-reference fields show a picker tied to the target collection defined in your Webflow schema. You can search and select linked items. Reference labels use the linked item’s display name.

Asset fields (image and file)

Image and file fields let you upload a new asset (or Replace an existing one). For images you can also set alt text. Uploaded assets are associated with the item when you save or publish.

Read-only fields

Some fields cannot be edited in Wicked CMS and appear disabled. These are typically system-managed or unsupported field configurations.

Validation

Required fields and invalid values show validation errors on the field. Fix errors before saving or publishing.

Slug field

The slug field automatically normalizes input to valid Webflow slug format as you type.
