           Yes, there is a way to prevent duplicate entries in a Webflow CMS dropdown filter and display the dates on separate lines. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Preventing duplicate entries:
 
- In your Webflow project, navigate to the CMS Collection Editor.
 - Click on the field that you want to filter with the dropdown.
 - Under the "Options" tab, make sure the "Unique" checkbox is selected. This will prevent duplicate entries in the dropdown options.
 
- Displaying dates on separate lines:
 
- In your Webflow project, open the page or template where you want to display the dates.
 - Drag and drop a collection list onto the page.
 - Connect the collection list to your desired CMS Collection.
 - Within the collection list, select the text element where you want to display the dates.
 - Go to the element's settings panel and choose Rich Text as the text element type.
 - Insert the dynamic field that contains the dates into the rich text element.
 - Now, wrap the dynamic field with a Line Break element before and/or after it. This will separate each date on a new line.
 
By following these steps, you can prevent duplicate entries in a Webflow CMS dropdown filter and display the dates on separate lines.
