Collection variables in slots

Question

Is it possible to use a collection’s variables in the slots contained within that collection? I have several repeating elements within a single collection, and I’d like to link them. However, I can’t find a way to pull data from the collection for these elements.

Hi yes you should be able to access variables defined outside the slot within the slot https://youtu.be/MWTpgOmv6N0

I have access to global variables, but I don’t see the collection variables—meaning the data retrieved in that specific instance.

Ah I see. @Bogdan should this be supported? Slots within Collections dont have access to any vars outside the Slot

Bogdan · Answer

This will be possible with components. Slot have access only to global variables.

Ah gotcha. I forgot this was the case

Bogdan · Answer

Though it is possible to access css variables from these slots
