<p>I was testing this module out just by doing something silly with loading an entity, fetcing a field value and setting the node title to the extracted value. I'm getting the error when clicking the action button.</p>
<p><code>Error: Object of class Drupal\Core\TypedData\Plugin\DataType\StringData could not be converted to string in Drupal\eca_field_widget_actions\Plugin\Action\SetWidgetValue->execute() (line 62 of /var/www/html/web/modules/contrib/eca_field_widget_actions/src/</code></p>

<p>When debugging $value, i'm see a typed data object. So on this line: <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/eca_field_widget_actions/-/blob/1.0.x/src/Plugin/Action/SetWidgetValue.php?ref_type=heads#L61">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/eca_field_widget_actions/-/blob/1.0.x/src/Plugin/Action/SetWidgetValue.php?ref_type=heads#L61</a></p>
<p>It appears, we should be doing <code>$value = $value->getValue()</code></p>
<p>I'm not sure if thats actually the appropriate fix as on line 50 it's also doing that but wasn't sure what DataTransferObject is without digging in deeper.</p>
