Finsweet CMS Nest Not working
Hi everyone, I'm about to loose my mind. I'm trying to overcome to the limit on webflow cms. I tried using the finsweet CMS Nest Attribute but its seems not to be working. i have set everything as i was told on finsweet website and even cloned a couple of Webflow site including the one done by WEB BAE, this odd thing is it seems to work on the clone site but doesn't work on my site. i've tried everything even copied the exact working divs from the clone website but it still doesn't work.
Also i noticed if i don't link the page it shows the items i want to nest but it just show all the items and not the ones i selected from the parent collection.
When I run the ASS, i get this error message: “The attribute fs-cmsnest-collection=“speaker” is found, but the url link in the CMS Collection Item is not working. Check if the Link Block or Text Link have the correct link to the Item’s Template page.”
But the link is correctly set as in the cloneable.
What am I missing here? i've been on this for almost two weeks please help!

For starters, I believe these are supposed to be applied to the list element:
And it seems you have yet to do this part of the step:
for this, it was previously on, i turned it off while i was debugging and trying different solutions. I'll turn it back on
so to put more context, i added the actual content i wanted to be there.
Attached is a figma screenshot of exactly what i want to achieve with nested element. I have a collection called "speakers" already so i want to nest it inside the sessions in the collection "Sessions".
i made an update to my webflow design to reflect exaclty what i want.
One the first day i.e Day 1. i didn't connect the link item to the page, when i publish it shows all the items in the nested div instead only the items i selected under the multi reference field.
But the one for the day 2 where i connected the link to the template page it doesn't / show any item at all.

@ShaneVeldhuizen have you been able to take a look at this?
@Web Bae what do you think i can do about this, can you help check it out.
Haven't had a chance to look again yet. Probably won't until Monday
Did you update this?
And do this?
@Adeleke CMS nest docs can be hard to follow! I’d recommend trying to set it up yourself though rather than copy paste other solutions. This is one of those solutions I read the docs twice for before moving forward 🙃
You already watched this one?

I've read the docs for over 5 times now, i can't seems to figure out what i'm doing wrong. and yes i watched the video, i was just about watching the video again just now before you shared it here.
it works, it worksssss 🥳🥳 @Web Bae @ShaneVeldhuizen .
Finally after over two weeks. now i can move on.
What finally did it?
glad to hear it
adding the collection to cms template like you mentioned, also basically what @Web Bae mentioned, i was just focusing on other solution and didn't carefully setup the cms nest.
Thanks so much guys, having someone experienced take a look at it really helped.
Meanwhile @Web Bae @ShaneVeldhuizen i have another issue which i just posted can you take a look at it.
