Error messages for Product Settings & Category Settings

When adding new custom fields to your Product Settings page or Category Settings page, you may run into a few errors.

Error: Can not have more than 30 custom fields

This error means that your CMS collection has used all of the available custom fields in your plan and you must upgrade your Webflow plan to continue adding more.

This is the same error you would see if you open Webflow and go to the CMS settings of your collection.

How to Fix

In Webflow, open your project settings and go to the “Plans” tab. Upgrade to the next tier plan.

Check out this help doc to figure out which plan is right for you.

Note: The CMS Legacy plan has a limit of 30 fields. Switching to a non-legacy CMS plan will raise the limit to 60.

Error: You have reached the max number of reference fields allowed for your Webflow plan. Please upgrade your Webflow plan.
