update item attribute on actorsheet

I have an item type rangedweapon that has a property of consumes

"rangedweapon": {
      ....
      "consumes": {
        "type": "ammo",
        "target": { "value": "" },
        "amount": { "value": 1 }
      },
      ...

"rangedweapon": {
      ....
      "consumes": {
        "type": "ammo",
        "target": { "value": "" },
        "amount": { "value": 1 }
      },
      ...

And I want to allow the user to set the target value to another item id. So on the character sheet I have something like

{{#each rangedweapons as |item|}}
  <select name="item.system.consumes.target.value">
    {{selectOptions ../ammos selected=item.system.consumes.target.value nameAttr="_id" labelAttr="name" blank="none"}}
  </select>
{{/each}}

{{#each rangedweapons as |item|}}
  <select name="item.system.consumes.target.value">
    {{selectOptions ../ammos selected=item.system.consumes.target.value nameAttr="_id" labelAttr="name" blank="none"}}
  </select>
{{/each}}

And this renders the option's correctly with name and id as the value. And I can select it. but when I close and re-open the the character sheet. the item.system.consumes.target.value is still "" any idea what i'm missing or how i might debug this more?

name doesn't work for embedded documents (like items), you'll need to use a change event listener that's created in the actor sheets activateListeners in order to process the data and update the correct item.
