## Description <ins>Problem</ins> Errors appeared in the console when the List widget in edit mode received an empty array as data. <ins>Root cause</ins> In edit mode, the List widget uses template widgets to create meta widgets. When the list becomes empty, meta widgets are not generated, but template widgets with `currentItem` bindings remain. Since `currentItem` requires meta widgets for evaluation, this results in errors. <ins>Solution</ins> This PR handles the generation of empty meta widgets when the List widget receives empty data, ensuring `currentItem` bindings don’t break. It introduces a `generateEmptyMetaWidgets` method in `MetaWidgetGenerator`, enhances the List widget to track and respond to empty data states, and resets the meta widget cache when transitioning between empty and non-empty states.
