Updating Label from object created in Pagination method

[gilded pivot]

Sorry if title is worded the worst. I am learning JavaFX, and am making a simple scheduling app for myself. Right now my goal is a a display schedule page, which will have a button next to each task, allowing me to edit. The shedule is displayed as a Pagination and a ListView, containing a Label and two buttons for each task on the list. I've done test outputs, and I know item contains the task I need, however no matter where I try and do editLabel.setText(item.display()); it won't update on the edit page when opened. I have tried it in every method involved, and only one where the Label will be set, is in intialize(), however (to my knowledge) i cant change intialize()'s param's or find a way to send item in, to update with that. I have tried having a class variable for the task, and assigning task = item, before the switchEditScene call, and hopefully intialize. I feel this is making no sense but I can't get it to work. Attached should be all relevant code.

edule that shows one week at a time, with the ability to navigate to the previous or next week. I have created a Pagination object with a Label for each day of the week. My issue is that I am not sure how to update the labels with the correct dates when navigating to a different week. Here is my code so far:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.Pagination;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class ScheduleApp extends Application {

    private static final int DAYS_PER_WEEK = 7;

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        Pagination pagination = new Pagination();
        pagination.setPageCount(52); // 52 weeks in a year
        pagination.setCurrentPageIndex(0); // start at first week

        pagination.setPageFactory(pageIndex -> {
            VBox page = new VBox();
            page.setPadding(new Insets(10));

            for (int i = 0; i < DAYS_PER_WEEK; i++) {
                Label label = new Label(); // label for each day of the week
                page.getChildren().add(label);
            }

            return page;
        });

        Scene scene = new Scene(pagination, 400, 300);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

I would like to update the labels with the correct dates when navigating to a different week. For example, if I navigate to the second week, I would like the labels to display the dates for that week (e.g., "January 8", "January 9", etc.). How can I achieve this?
