Accessing and Modifying a variable from a different classes in flutter dart - flutter

Question

I have a model class which I used to create a object from one of my main stateful class. I have a text field and button in my main class. But they both are completely different stateful class. That is, I have 3 different classes in a dart file (main page, textfield, button). I want to access and modify the object initiated in the build of main page in my textfield and button.
What I did: I have made my object on the top of all classes in my dart file assuming all classes have access to them. That was a success. All classes have access to that object, even value initiated to the object from main page are available in other classes (textfield, button).
Problem what I have now: Even though I have access to those values in the object, I can't modify it to latest value from FancyTextField class regardless StatusButton class updating.
What my project do: I will get some values from firestore database on my main page build and I will pass it to textfield and button in the other two classes., that way it resembles my values on it. And I will save the modified value from textfield and button to the object and upload it to firestore database from main page.

UPDATE I RECENTLY NOTED: The value of StatusButton is gettiong updated to the object and to firestore. however value of updated FancyTextField only reflects inside that class itself. Not updating globally.

Answer 1

Lastly I found the issue myself rolling 3 days with it. Issue was happened because when keyboard pops, the widget also gets it state rebuild. Since I had my firebase data on FutureBuilder in the build, my old data was recalled from the firebase again and save it on top of newly edited data.
Why initial text I put on the TextField didn't changed ?
Because I had it set it on my initState of FancyTextField class, so when rebuilding widget I won't execute and my edited value stays as before.
Why StatusButton value updated without failing ?
Because when I tap on the button keyboard doesn't pops up and build wasn't rebuild again. But later I noticed, after changing my StatusButton status to someother value and tapping on TextField makes it to OLD value (that is the value that is in firebase currently). Since build is recreated. That's how I figured it out.
What I did to overcome this:
I simply removed my FutureBuilder which gets data from firebase, and created a Future for the same and initiated in the initState.
If anyone want, I can show the updated code here
