Add app state list string to data type

Actions & Logic

I have an app state variable that is a list <string> ("rent"), and I am successfully adding and removing items from this list. I am trying to get this app state to write the list of items to a data type field that is also a list <string>. I have linked another app state "EquipExport" to the datatype. When I try to update the EquipExport through the update document action, the "available options" only allow me to filter or sort list items, as shown in the screenshot. I don't have the ability to set the list from the source app state. How do I transfer the list in my app state into the datatype?

For context, I need to create this data type instead of a standard schema in firebase so I can execute an export to PDF action I have, which requires moving the data to JSON.

What have you tried so far?

I have tried to come up with a way of avoiding using a list, but none of that worked.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
