Solved How do I dynamically add a new menu item to a menu?

[mirro]

I use the following example to make an error in QT5.9.7.
What went wrong in the following example?

import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.3
import QtQuick.Window 2.2

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 200
    title: qsTr("Hello World")
    id:root
    
    MouseArea {
    
        anchors.fill: parent
    
        onClicked: {
    
            menu.addEntry('test')
    
            menu.open()
    
        }
    
    }
    
    
    
    Menu {
    
        id: menu
    
        function addEntry(title) {
    
            menu.addItem(menuItem.createObject(menu, { text: title }))
    
        }
    
    
    
        Component {
    
            id: menuItem
    
            MenuItem {
                   text: title 
            }
    
        }
    
    }

@mirro
Instantiators are much cleaner.

Is this some kind of brain twister?
Don't you think you should tell others what is not working instead to ask others to find out by themself?
Please ask understandable questions...

@mirro - seems I misunderstood the question. I don't recall seeing the word 'dynamically' in the question title, please ignore my initial response.
