Firestore collection not showing in set variable menu

Troubleshooting

Hello all,

I'm new to flutter flow, testing building an app. I have linked firebase, created and deployed 2 schemas in flutterflow. Then I added a listview to the UI, and went to Generate dynamic children based on the schemas, clicked "unset", but neither schema is showing in the list of sources (there should be "firestore collection", according to ChatGPT and Claude AI). In short, my ListView can't fetch my data.

Been trying to solve this with GPT, Claude and DeepSeek, they all say it should work...

Please help?

What have you tried so far?

To be clear:
- Firebase is connected -> ok
- Firestore permissions -> ok
- Collections created in firestore (free account) -> ok
- ListView is set as dynamic children -> ok
- Collections are set as readable -> ok
- Created some demo documents in the tables -> ok
- Cleared the cache -> ok
- Refreshed the page -> ok
- Signed out and back in -> ok

...still no "firestore collection" in the list (only: Page Parameters, Authenticated User, Global Properties, Conditional Value (If/Then/Else), Custom Functions, Random Data, Sample Data, Firebase Remote Config, Enume, Constants)

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?

Yes
