Hello!

Thank you for reaching out. I’ve followed the steps to try and reproduce the issue but was unable to replicate it.

Here are the steps I took:

1. Created a new blank project.
2. Connected it to Firebase.
3. Created two collections: "users" and "products."
4. Created a DataType that includes a ProductRef (Document Reference from the Products collection).
5. Added the DataType to a Cloud Function.

Could you please confirm if I’m missing anything in these steps? Additionally, could you let me know which specific Cloud Function in your project is generating the error? I’d like to double-check it to help resolve this.

Looking forward to your response!

I've ran into this issue in the past and if I recall correctly it is because the serialization code is missing for DocumentReference types (a FlutterFlow issue).
