Expected behavior (required)

1. Build a ListView that has text, image, and checkboxes
2. Set the values of the text, image, and checkboxes from a list of documents obtained from a firestore collection
3. You should now have a nicely formatted list of collection items
4. You should be able to edit any list item by selecting it, and having access to the widget data for that selected list item.
5. You can then save your edits, and it will push to firestore.

Current behavior (required)

1. Build a ListView that has text, image, and checkboxes
2. Set the values of the text, image, and checkboxes from a list of documents obtained from a firestore collection
3. You should now have a nicely formatted list of collection items
4. You can't access any widget data from the list items
5. You need to push a document reference to an editing page that is setup to accept a document reference as an argument and use another backend query to get the data.
6. This makes no sense if you have the screen space to do inline edits, such as desktop, web, linux, etc. All widgets should be selectable from the "Set from Variable" menu.

To Reproduce (required)

I'm trying to build for desktop and web first, and passing data between widgets, components, queries, is really challenging. Desktop/web apps shouldn't need to goto a new page specifically for editing. They should be able to edit inline. Also, this saves on backend calls if we don't need to obtain a document, from a doc reference, since all the data required for an edit is already in a widget(listview, etc.).

Hi Chris @wednesdei. Thanks for adding this issue :)
Could you pls add your widget tree? Do you see the passed data in TextFields already before saving it to the Firestore? :)

Closing as there's been no activity for 11 days.

@wednesdei if you are still experiencing the issue, could you add screenshots for each step from "Current Behavior"? I'm not quite able to follow the steps to reproduce.
