There are 4 textEdit’s in my qml code. (There is no reason to leave a minimal code snippet of it, it can be the most basic ones…)

The format of the dictionary from python looks like this:

{'textEdit1': ['999999', '999999', '999999', '999999', '999999', '999999'], 'textEdit2': ['Barbara ', 'Marieke', 'Ramses', 'Reatie', 'Gaby', 'Marthe'], 'textEdit3': ['Bijvank', 'Sassen', 'Man', 'Projecten', 'Knol', 'Noordijk'], 'textEdit4': ['', '', '', '', '', '']}

The keys of the dictionary are exactly named as the id of the textEdit’s.

The idea is to update the appropriate textEdits by id’s (keys of the dictionary) and using the values of the dictionary as textEdit.text (text property of textEdit).

I wrote the following javascript function when the signal is received from python:

function onSendBackDictionaryTextEditData(myDictionary) {
    for (const key in myDictionary) {
        if (myDictionary.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
            const value = myDictionary[key];
            //console.log(`${key}: ${value}`);
            var target = `${key}`
            var textEditValues = `${value}`
            target.text = textEditValues
            console.log(textEditValues)
        }
    }
}

I can see all the keys and values received if i do console.log, but unfortunately I cannot update the text property. Can someone provide a minimal code snippet how to solve this issue?

I am using PySide6.

Here comes a minimal code snippet from the main.py file and from the main.qml file.

main.py:

import sys
from pathlib import Path

from PySide6.QtGui import QGuiApplication
from PySide6.QtQml import QQmlApplicationEngine
from PySide6.QtCore import QObject, Slot, Signal


class Main(QObject):

    onSendBackDictionaryTextEditData = Signal('QVariant')


    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(Main, self).__init__(parent)

    @Slot()
    def populatingTextEdit(self):
        textEditData = {'textEdit1': ['999999', '999999', '999999', '999999', '999999', '999999'], 'textEdit2': ['Barbara ', 'Marieke', 'Ramses', 'Reatie', 'Gaby', 'Marthe'], 'textEdit3': ['Bijvank', 'Sassen', 'Man', 'Projecten', 'Knol', 'Noordijk'], 'textEdit4': ['', '', '', '', '', '']}
        self.sendBackSwishQrTextEditData.emit(textEditData)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QGuiApplication(sys.argv)
    engine = QQmlApplicationEngine()

    main = Main()
    engine.rootContext().setContextProperty("main", main)
    qml_file = Path(__file__).resolve().parent / "main.qml"
    engine.load(qml_file)
    if not engine.rootObjects():
        sys.exit(-1)
    sys.exit(app.exec())

main.qml:
