Data Types Gestion

Troubleshooting

Hi there,

I am still new with FF and I was playing with data types, trying to understand how they work.

I was trying to create a Firebase collection containing a data type and when I try to define them from variable, I have discovered that there are 2 ways to do it :

1) In the field "Update Type", I choose "Set from Variable" then I choose the Data Type concerned then I type the Fields 1 by 1. (Check 2 screenshots below)

2) In the field "Update Type", I choose "Set Individual Fields" then I type the Fields 1 by 1. (Check screenshot below :

I have only conclude from now that with the 1) method, you can directly set the entire data type variable from another ("same type") data type like if it was coming from a parameter or something else.

Also, I figured that you can copy/paste the action only with the 1) method 🤷🏽‍♂️.

I was wondering if, when setting individual fields, one method is better than the other.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Have a lovely day ❤️

What have you tried so far?

I have tried both method but I am seeing no differences when setting individuals fields

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
Yes
