      The standard approach in QML is to not use data() and setData(). You should use model.roleName instead - bot for reading and writing.

      If you have to use setData(), this should work:

      modelId.setData(modelId.index(row, column), value, role)
      

      You need to create the index from the model. Using just integer won't work.

        Ok, got it. But something is not working and I don't understand where and why.
        When I read data using model.plotted or similar, I always get undefined.
        Instead, when I try to replace some data, e.g. with model.plotted = true, the function setData() is never entered (I observed that on debug).

        If you have to use setData(), this should work:

        modelId.setData(modelId.index(row, column), value, role)
        

        You need to create the index from the model. Using just integer won't work.

        I've tried also this approach. In my previous response I used var index = model.index(i, 1) to iterate through indexes, but without success.

        May be a problem that my DataDelegate is in another QML file?

          DONE!!
          I was picking an invalid index using 1 instead of 0 for column. Also the role values was wrong.
          Here below the "solution".

          // Read
          dmodel.data(dmodel.index(n, 0), DataModel.PlottedRole)
          
          // Write: 
          dmodel.setData(dmodel.index(n, 0), checked, DataModel.PlottedRole)
          

          Last question. By using index(row, column) is the only way to access to the n item of the list? Or I should implement my "custom getter" like this?

          DataItem DataModel::get(int row)
          {
              return mList.at(row);
          }

              Thanks for posting.

              DataItem DataModel::get(int row)
              {
                  return mList.at(row);
              }
              

              Since you're not using the standard approach anyway, I'd say it's up to you. A simple getter like this makes absolute sense.

                It's working, so it's ok for me. Anyway, I'm still not understanding how the standard approach works.

                Task: Modify the temperature field in row 3 when a signal is emitted from another QML component.
                How to access this field in the standard way, without using setData()?

                  Signal emitted from QML should go to your model. Then model should emit dataChanged() and this will update all affected delegates on QML side.

                    Ok, it works, thank you!

                    One more thing, it'll be the last I promise.
                    Actually, DataModel is the owner of my list. What I want is to add it from another class, i.e. DataServer. I tried this code but is not working. Any suggestion?

                    @DataServer.cpp

                    void DataServer::showList()
                    {
                        QVector<DataItem*> list;
                        list.append(new DataItem(...);
                        list.append(new DataItem(...);
                        list.append(new DataItem(...);
                    
                        emit listChanged(QVariant::fromValue(list));
                    }
                    

                    @DataModel

                    void DataModel::setList(QVariant list)
                    {
                        m_list = list;
                    }
                    

                    @QML

                    Button {
                        id: btn
                        onPressed: dserver.showList()
                    }
                    
                    DataServer {
                        id: dserver
                        onListChanged: dmodel.setList(list)
                    }

                      void DataServer::setList(QVariant list)
                      {
                      m_list = list;
                      }

                      You don't have emit dataChanged() here. Or, in this case, you should probably do:

                      beginResetModel();
                      m_list = list;
                      endResetModel();

                        Yes. No signal dataChanged() should be emitted.
                        I did the same you suggested, but I've getting this error.

                        qrc:/main.qml:21: Error: Unknown method parameter type: QVector<DataItem*>

                          Done, by inserting rows one by one.
