Xamarin trigger on button not firing in a FreshMvvm / SwipeView context

Question

The almost identical setup but without the SwipeView context is working fine. The trigger gets fired and I do "my thing".

See the following xaml code + PageModel.cs code :

<CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
    <SwipeView BackgroundColor="LightYellow">
        <SwipeView.RightItems>
            <SwipeItems Mode="Execute" SwipeBehaviorOnInvoked="RemainOpen">
                <SwipeItemView>
                    <StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" WidthRequest="60" BackgroundColor="LightGray" Padding="2,5,0,5" >
                        <Button x:Name="Btn_Assign" 
                                Text="{x:Static fa:FontAwesomeIcons.UserPlus}" FontSize="20" FontFamily="FAS" 
                                HorizontalOptions="Center" 
                                Command="{Binding AssignCommand}"/>
                        <Label Text="Assign" FontSize="Subtitle" HorizontalOptions="Center"/>
                    </StackLayout>
                </SwipeItemView>
            </SwipeItems>
        </SwipeView.RightItems>
    </SwipeView>
</DataTemplate>
</CollectionView.ItemTemplate>

PageModel.cs

public Command AssignCommand
{
    get
    {
        return new Command(ExecuteUpdateCommand);
    }
}
    

The ExecuteUpdateCommand function contains the actual code to be executed. The AssignCommand function is never accessed.

From your description, you need to use Xamarin.Forms Relative Bindings to bind command for Button's Command, I do one sample that using SwipView in Collectionview, then delete current item.

<StackLayout>
        <CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding models}" SelectedItem="{Binding selecteditem}">
            <CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackLayout>
                        <SwipeView>
                            <SwipeView.LeftItems>
                                <SwipeItems>
                                    <SwipeItem
                                        BackgroundColor="LightPink"
                                        Command="{Binding Path=BindingContext.deletecommand, Source={x:Reference page1}}"
                                        CommandParameter="{Binding Name}"
                                        IconImageSource="delete.png"
                                        Text="Delete" />
                                </SwipeItems>
                            </SwipeView.LeftItems>
                            <StackLayout>
                                <Label Text="{Binding Name}" />
                                <Label Text="{Binding Age}" />
                            </StackLayout>
                        </SwipeView>

                    </StackLayout>
                </DataTemplate>
            </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
        </CollectionView>
    </StackLayout>

You need to name ContentPage's Name

<ContentPage
x:Class="FormsSample.collectionviewsample.Page18"
xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Name="page1">

 public partial class Page18 : ContentPage
{
   
    public Page18()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.BindingContext = new swipviewmodel();
       
    }      
}
public class swipviewmodel:ViewModelBase
{
    public ObservableCollection<swipmodel> models { get; set; }
    public ICommand deletecommand { get; set; }       
    public swipviewmodel()
    {
        models = new ObservableCollection<swipmodel>()
        {
            new swipmodel(){Name="cherry",Age=28},
            new swipmodel(){Name="wendy",Age=28},
            new swipmodel(){Name="barry",Age=28},
            new swipmodel(){Name="cole",Age=28},
            new swipmodel(){Name="leon",Age=28},
            new swipmodel(){Name="leo",Age=28},
            new swipmodel(){Name="stfan",Age=28}
        };
        deletecommand = new Command((obj)=> {
            if(obj!=null)
            {
                swipmodel selecteditem = models.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == (string)obj);
                models.Remove(selecteditem);
            }                            
        });
    }
   
}
public class swipmodel
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}
