Access exported property
I am making an app for mobile devices with Qt 5.8 on OS X 10. Starting with a Qt Quick wizard template, using SwipeView, I for instance want changes to have been made also in a textField2 on Page2 when I click a button1 on Page1. In design mode I have exported button1 and thus have "property alias button1: button 1" in Page1Form.ui.qml. In Page2.qml I have "Page1Form.button1.onClicked: {textField2 = ...}", which is formally accepted, but does not work.
I have searched all Qt documentation and forums without success. The closest idea I have seen is to use the model "attachedObjects: [ Page1Form {id: page1Form} ]" in Page2.qml, but I can't get that accepted.
How should I do? -

How should I do?@PA-F You can try to bind textField2's text directly to some text property of another item. If you have textField1 in Page1, make alias for the textField1 and bind textField2.text: textField1.text.
The problem with your code may be that you bind button1.onClicked twice and the binding in Page1 replaces the binding in Page2 (if you have button1.onClicked in Page1, too).

Thanks for a good explanation and suggestion! Using the concept you suggest still seems to be clumsy -- it doesn't work without declaration of further properties in both directions. I will try to use model/view concepts instead (doc.qt.io/qt-5/modelview.html).
