Issue with TextField and userQuestion Variable Binding Not Updating Dynamically

Widgets & Design

Description:
Hi FlutterFlow Community/Support,

I’m working on a simple project where I want to dynamically update a Text Widget with whatever the user types in a TextField. Here's the setup:

  1. TextField Setup:

    • Initial Value: Bound to a Page State variable named userQuestion.

    • Update Page on Text Change: Enabled.

    • Actions:

      • Added an On Change action in the Action Flow Editor.

      • Configured it to update the userQuestion variable (Set Variable > userQuestion > TextField Value).

    • Update Delay (ms): Left blank for immediate updates.

  2. Text Widget Setup:

    • Bound to the userQuestion variable to display its value dynamically.

Issue:
Despite this setup:

  • The Text Widget doesn’t update dynamically when I type in the TextField.

  • The userQuestion variable does not seem to be updating properly.

What I’m Looking For:
I’d like to know if anyone else has faced a similar issue and how it was resolved. Is there a specific step I might be missing, or is this a known bug/limitation in FlutterFlow?

What have you tried so far?

Steps I’ve Tried to Resolve This:

  1. Verified the userQuestion variable is correctly created in the Page State.

  2. Cleared the UI Builder Display Value and ensured no conflicting values exist.

  3. Tried setting the Update Type in the Action Flow to both Rebuild Current Page and Do Nothing.

  4. Tested with and without a delay in the Update Delay (ms) field.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
