How to change the endValueString for tween animations at runtime?

Question

I am using DOTween pro asset from the Unity store along with the textmeshpro. Attached is a screenshot showing my setup:

There are few collectibles in my scene; I want to be able to run the animation with a different text each time when an item is collected.

Below is my code snippet:

DOTweenAnimation[] animations = pickUpTexts.GetComponents<DOTweenAnimation>();
for(int i=0;i< animations.Length; i++)
{
    Debug.Log("animations " + animations[0].animationType);
    if (animations[i].animationType == DOTweenAnimationType.Text)
    {
        textAnimation = animations[i];
    }
    if (animations[i].animationType == DOTweenAnimationType.Move)
    {
        moveAnimation = animations[i];
    }
}

later when item is collected, I am calling this:

textAnimation.endValueString = "New pick up collected, blah blah";
//textAnimation.DOPlay();
textAnimation.DORestart();

Basically, I am trying to change the endValueString of an animation and re-run the animation with the new value. When a pick up is collected, I can see the endValueString being updated in the inspector, but the Tween is still playing(or not) with the same old value. The screenshot showing the update is shown below:

I tried changing using the Restart/Play, switched off the autokill option of the component, tried changing the loops counter in inspector, tried using textAnimation.DORestart(true) but nothing seems to have worked.

The solution that I have found so far is not to use the animation component as it is not re-usable and just use the following line in my script:

pickUpTexts.GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>().DOText("New pick up collected, blah blah", 1f, true).SetRelative(true)

You can't change the endValue of a DOTweenAnimation, but you can change the endValue of the tween it generates using ChangeEndValue:

// myDOTweenAnimation indicates a reference to the DOTweenAnimation component
myTween = myDOTweenAnimation.GetTweens()[0];
myTween.ChangeEndValue("something else");

SIDE NOTE: I'm the developer of the tool the OP is using.

Although @Demigiant's answer is correct, at version:

DOTween v1.2.335 [Release build] DOTweenPro v1.0.178

A cast is required because it returns a Tween object which does not implement the ChangeEndValue method.

So to get it to work as intended you need to cast it to a Tweener first:

// myDOTweenAnimation indicates a reference to the DOTweenAnimation component
myTween = myDOTweenAnimation.GetTweens()[0];
((Tweener)myTween).ChangeEndValue("something else");

PS. I could not comment it because I do not have enough reputation. Once the proper answer is fixed this can be removed.
