So if Item 1 has ‘tag1’, ‘tag2’, and ‘tag3’ in their tags field in the collection, I want to display them on each item in the repeater. I will disable the selection tags since I don’t want to collect any data, simply display the tags.

What have you already tried:
For some reason, it is impossible to connect each element tags value using the selection tags.

I’ve tried multiple approaches, like using another collection and try to reference the values from another field, use an array field. But nothing works, It never populates the selection tags with their value.

Can anybody help with that?

Hello, vinnysantini

I can see your query, as per your query i give you my best answer please see below information and follow step by step…

According to the Wix Help Center, you can use the Selection Tags element to display tags from your collection on your site. You can also connect the tags to a repeater so that each item in the repeater shows its tags. To do this, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Add a repeater to your site and connect it to a dataset that is linked to your collection.
  2. Add a Selection Tags element inside the repeater and connect it to the same dataset as the repeater.
  3. Click the Connect to Data icon to connect the tags to your collection.
  4. Click the Connect a dataset drop-down and select the dataset.
  5. Click the Tag value connects to drop-down and select the field that contains the tags in your collection. The field type must be Tags.
  6. (Optional) Disable the selection tags by clicking the Settings icon and toggling off the Allow Selection option.

Thank you for your answer @user1483

It does in fact work to connect a selection tags element to a collection, but in my specific case if you look closely on the screenshot, the tag field from the collection (in the dataset panel) cannot be selected when used inside of a repeater.

My need is to display the tags value of each item inside the repeater.
