QtRO, How to make repc (.rep) customtype accessible in qml?

[majorRonk]

In my replica file (.rep) i want to use a customtype, which is defined outside of this replica,
as a property of the interface and access its members and methods via qml.

Current rep file looks like this:

#include <CustomClass>

class CustomInterface
{
    PROP(QList<mynamespace::CustomClass> list SOURCEONLYSETTER)
}

Simulation works but, i cannot access "list" in qml. Calls on members or functions gives me always "undefined".
(like: CustomInterfaceReplica.list.member or CustomInterfaceReplica.list.method)

Unfortunately the official doc does not give a lot of information
about how to use custom classes correctly with rep files.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtremoteobjects-repc.html

My current solution is to write all members of CustomClass to a qvariantmap and expose it to qml with QStandardItemModel.

What i found out:

• PROP(CustomClass*) does not build.
• PROP(QList<CustomClass*>) does crash in application
• PROP(QList<CustomClass>) cannot be accessed in qml
• POD CustomType(QString name, CustomClass value) does not build.
• CLASS(CustomClass) works, if CustomClass is also declared in the rep file.
• CLASS(CustomClass) does not build, if CustomClass is not declared in a rep file.

Custom types work. Needs #include for the appropriate header for your type, make sure your type is known to the metabject system, and make sure it supports Queued Connections (see Q_DECLARE_METATYPE and qRegisterMetaType

Did you register your custom type with the metaobject system?

Q_DECLARE_METATYPE

I tried Q_DECLARE_METATYPE, qRegisterMetaType and qmlRegisterType with CustomType and QList<CustomType>. Does not help.

When i do this in qml:

Connections {
           target: CustomInterfaceReplica

           function onListChanged(list) {
               tabButtonSplit.text = list[0].myProperty
           }
       }

text shows "undefined".
when i call list[0].toString()
it shows "QVariant(QList<mynamespace::CustomClass, )"
