Description
**Describe the bug**
When using a template string that contains a `*` wildcard (to access every item of a list) as `value_field` of a relation widget, the widget says "No options".
**To Reproduce**
1. Create a list widget, with fields `a` and `b`, and populate it
2. Create a relation widget that points to the previous list
3. Set `value_field` to `'mylist.*.a'`
4. It works
5. Set `value_field` to `'a is {{mylist.*.a}} - and b {{mylist.*.b}}'`
6. It says "No options"
**Expected behavior**
Template string should work even with wildcard.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the relation widget with a template string containing wildcard values such as `mylist.*.a` and inspect the value_field handling and template parsing. Done means the relation widget presents options instead of "No options" when the template includes wildcard fields.
