How to ref a variable created by for, for another task

[Nickelkette]

I have following Taskfile:

version: '3'

vars:
  projects:
    - name: project1
    - name: project2
    - name: project2

tasks:

  setup-projects:
    desc: Setup everything needed to start developing
    cmds:
      - task: .pull-projects
        for:
          var: projects
          as: ITEM
        vars:
          project:
            ref: .ITEM

  .pull-projects:
    cmds:
      - cmd: echo "kind={{ kindOf .project }} value={{ .project }}"

when i run the task setup-projects this is my output

task: [.pull-projects] echo "kind=invalid value="
kind=invalid value=                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
task: [.pull-projects] echo "kind=invalid value="
kind=invalid value=                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
task: [.pull-projects] echo "kind=invalid value="
kind=invalid value= 

How is it possible to use the map inside the .ITEM variable in the other task ?
