i'm running a query to Firebase and the results are displaying in a custom cell. The cell has a UIButton that when tapped it goes to another view controller where the user can enter info. The question i have is, how do i send the array in the custom cell to the next view controller? i need to send the array so i can reference the subcollection of info i'm going to add for each array. Segue is working properly, when i print to the console, the array is empty "nil". Any help is greatly appreciated.
