Is there a simpler way to extract the data from a Qmodel index without referencing the standard_model instantiation

I have this code which works but seems clunky:

       model_index_of_pn = self._standard_model.index(pn_node.row(), 0)
            pn = model_index_of_pn.data()
            model_index_of_desc = self._standard_model.index(pn_node.row(), 1)
            desc = model_index_of_desc.data()

I'm extracting the data for two columns on the selected row.

I think the data I need can be referenced by just using pn_node QModelIndex instantiation, but I can't seem to make it work after looking at the docs for QModelIndex

Hi,

Aren't you looking for QModelIndex::sibling ?
Don't forget to check for the validity of the index returned.

Thank you.
I overlooked this in the docs because I thought it would give me a child node which is not what I want.

You're welcome !
