💡 Next Steps:
1. Use bulk-cms-update to add initial blog posts
2. Create collection template page in Designer
3. Set up collection list page for blog index
4. Configure SEO settings for dynamic pages

Create a Products collection with name, price, description, images, brand, and tags

📋 Collection Analysis

I see you want:
- Brand: This should be a reference field
- Tags: This should be a multi-reference field

This requires creating additional collections first:
1. Brands collection
2. Tags collection

Then we can create Products with references to them.

Would you like me to:
A) Create all three collections (Brands, Tags, Products)
B) Just create Products (you'll add relationships later)
C) Modify the requirements

Your choice? (A/B/C)

Create an e-commerce setup with Products, Categories, Brands, and Features

📋 E-commerce Collection Planning

I'll create 4 collections:

1. **Categories** - Product categories
2. **Brands** - Product brands
3. **Features** - Product features (e.g., "Waterproof", "Wireless")
4. **Products** - Main product catalog

Relationships:
- Product → Category (Reference)
- Product → Brand (Reference)
- Product → Features (MultiReference)

Fields per collection:

**Categories:**
- Name, Slug (auto)
- Description
- Parent Category (self-reference for hierarchy)
- Icon

**Brands:**
- Name, Slug (auto)
- Logo
- Description

**Features:**
- Name, Slug (auto)
- Icon
- Description

**Products:**
- Name, Slug (auto)
- Price
- Sale Price
- Description
- Images (MultiImage)
- Category (Reference → Categories)
- Brand (Reference → Brands)
- Features (MultiReference → Features)
- In Stock (Switch)
- SKU (PlainText)

Is this structure good? (yes/modify/cancel)

**Step 3: Creation with Progress**

undefined

Check limits before creation:
- Starter: 1 collection, 50 items
- Basic: 2 collections, 200 items
- CMS: 20 collections, 2,000 items
- Business: 40 collections, 10,000 items
- Enterprise: Custom

Warn user if approaching limits.

Display Name: Plural form shown in CMS
Singular Name: Singular form for individual items

Examples:
- Display: "Blog Posts" → Singular: "Blog Post"
- Display: "Team Members" → Singular: "Team Member"
- Display: "Products" → Singular: "Product"
- Display: "Categories" → Singular: "Category"

✅ Good names:
- author-name (descriptive, hyphenated)
- publish-date (clear purpose)
- featured-image (specifies which)
- main-content (explains use)

❌ Bad names:
- text1 (meaningless)
- field (too generic)
- data (unclear)
- img (which image?)

If user says:
"... with author" → Likely reference field
"... with tags" → Likely multi-reference field
"... with category" → Likely reference field
"... with related products" → Likely multi-reference field

Ask clarifying questions:
- Is [author] the same across items? → Reference
- Can items have multiple [tags]? → Multi-reference
- Do you have a [Categories] collection? → Check existence

Common field type mappings:

User says... → Field type:
"title", "name" → PlainText
"description", "summary" → PlainText (long)
"content", "bio", "article" → RichText
"photo", "image", "thumbnail" → Image
"gallery", "photos" → MultiImage
"document", "PDF", "file" → File
"video" → Video
"link", "URL", "website" → Link
"email" → Email
"phone", "mobile" → Phone
"price", "cost", "amount" → Number
"date", "published", "deadline" → DateTime
"featured", "active", "published" → Switch
"status", "type", "category" → Option (if fixed choices)
"color", "theme" → Color

Count multi-reference fields requested:

If > 5:
⚠️ Warning: Collection Limit Exceeded

Webflow allows max 5 multi-reference fields per collection.

You requested: 7 multi-reference fields

Options:
1. Choose 5 most important relationships
2. Convert some to reference fields (one-to-many)
3. Create bridging collections
4. Use option fields for simple categorization

Which would you prefer?

For reference fields:
1. Check if referenced collection exists
2. If not, add to creation queue
3. Create in correct order

Example:
Products needs:
- Categories collection (create first)
- Brands collection (create first)
Then create Products

Create fields in this order:

2. Option fields (with options defined)
3. Reference fields (after referenced collections exist)

For each field:
- Set displayName
- Set isRequired flag
- Add helpText if provided by user

Field Type → Tool to use:

PlainText, RichText, Email, Phone, Link, Number,
Image, MultiImage, File, Video, DateTime, Switch, Color

Option
→ collection_fields_create_option
   (requires metadata.options array)

Reference, MultiReference
→ collection_fields_create_reference
   (requires metadata.collectionId)

For each field created:
✅ [field-name] ([FieldType])

If field fails:

💡 Next Steps:
[Relevant suggestions based on collection type]

For any collection:
1. Use bulk-cms-update to add initial items
2. Create collection template page in Designer
3. Create collection list page
4. Configure SEO settings

For collections with relationships:
5. Create referenced collections first
6. Add items in dependency order
7. Test relationship displays

For e-commerce:
5. Set up payment integration
6. Configure inventory management
7. Create checkout flow

❌ Collection Already Exists

A collection named "Blog Posts" already exists on this site.

Existing collection:
- Name: Blog Posts
- ID: xyz789...
- Created: 2025-12-15

Would you like to:
1. Choose a different name
2. View existing collection
3. Add fields to existing collection
4. Cancel

❌ Plan Limit Reached

Cannot create collection. You've reached your plan limit.

Current: 20/20 collections (CMS Plan)

Options:
1. Upgrade to Business Plan (40 collections)
2. Delete unused collections
3. Contact Webflow support

Would you like me to show your existing collections?

❌ Invalid Field Type

Field type "dropdown" is not supported by Webflow.

Did you mean:
- "Option" - Single choice from list
- "Reference" - Link to another collection
- "MultiReference" - Link to multiple items

Which would you like to use?

❌ Referenced Collection Not Found

Cannot create reference field to "Authors" collection.

Issue: "Authors" collection doesn't exist yet.

Solutions:
1. Create "Authors" collection first
2. Remove reference field for now
3. Let me create both collections in order

Your choice? (1/2/3)

❌ Too Many Multi-Reference Fields

You requested 6 multi-reference fields.
Webflow limit: 5 per collection

Requested:
1. Tags
2. Categories
3. Related Products
4. Features
5. Certifications
6. Compatible Products ← Exceeds limit

Choose 5 to keep, or convert one to Reference field.

Example: Categories with parent categories

Collection: Categories
Fields:
├── name (PlainText, required)
├── slug (PlainText, required)
├── parent-category (Reference → Categories)
└── level (Number) - 1, 2, 3 for hierarchy

Implementation:
{
  "type": "Reference",
  "displayName": "Parent Category",
  "isRequired": false,
  "metadata": {
    "collectionId": "[same-collection-id]"
  }
}

Note: Must create collection first, then add self-reference field

When creating multiple related collections:

1. Identify dependencies:
   - Which collections reference others?
   - What's the creation order?

2. Create in order:
   - Independent collections first
   - Dependent collections after

3. Show overall progress:
   [1/4] Creating Categories...
   [2/4] Creating Brands...
   [3/4] Creating Tags...
   [4/4] Creating Products...

4. Report collectively:
   All 4 collections created successfully!

For complex dropdowns:

User: "Create status field with Draft, In Review, Approved, Published, Archived"

Option field with 5 choices:
{
  "type": "Option",
  "displayName": "Status",
  "isRequired": true,
  "metadata": {
    "options": [
      {"name": "Draft"},
      {"name": "In Review"},
      {"name": "Approved"},
      {"name": "Published"},
      {"name": "Archived"}
    ]
  }
}

Tip: Use workflow order for options
