Having a flow called userPreferencesRepository.searchText, why this can be done:

userPreferencesRepository.searchText.collect{ searchText = it }

but this not?

searchText = userPreferencesRepository.searchText.collect{it}

returning simply it from collect should work, but instead it gives me this error:
Type mismatch. Required:String Found:Unit
