# Webflow Multi-reference fields
Webflow's CMS doesn’t natively support multi-select options in the same way Airtable does.
However, you can achieve a similar function by utilizing multi-reference fields within Webflow and syncing them through PowerImporter from your Airtable base.
\
**Here's how you can set it up:**
### **1. Create a separate table in your Airtable base:**
In Airtable, you'll need to have a dedicated table that contains all the possible options for your reference and/or multi-reference field.
### **2. Link to records in Airtable:**
In your main Airtable table, add a "Link to a record" field that connects to your options table. This will act as your multi-reference connection.
This is how it works:
{% embed url="" %}
### **3. Create a Reference or Multi-reference field in Webflow:**
You will need at least 2 collections in Webflow. The second collection will be for your "referenced" items. \
If you haven't done so already, create a Reference field or Multi-reference field in your main Webflow collection, linking to your second Webflow collection. For example, link your Blog post collection to your Authors collection.
### **4. Map your fields in PowerImporter:**
Within PowerImporter, map **both the Airtable main table and the options table** to the corresponding collections in Webflow. \
Then map your Airtable fields to your Webflow fields, ensuring that the "Link to a record" field in Airtable is mapped with the reference and/or multi-reference field in Webflow. That's it!
