Modify ToolTip Text inside ListElement (QML) - qt

Question

I'm actually developing a software with Python and QML. I've manage to learn it by myself and thanks to some good videos but I've come across a problem lately that I can't manage to deal with.
So here is my ListView Element :
ListView {
id: listView
anchors.fill:parent
anchors.bottom: start_button.top
anchors.rightMargin: 10
anchors.leftMargin: 10
anchors.topMargin: 20
delegate: informationDelegate
model: ListModel { id:informationModel }
}
Well, as you can see I have a delegate to "pre-format" my list :
Component{
id:informationDelegate
Column {
spacing: 5
height: 60
Text { text: name ; font.bold: true ; color: "#ffffff" }
Text { text: path ; color: "#ffffff" ; ToolTip.delay: 1000 ; ToolTip.visible: ma.containsMouse ; ToolTip.text: qsTr("Tooltip empty")
MouseArea { id: ma ; anchors.fill: parent ; hoverEnabled: true}
}
}
}
And then, I'd like to modify the Tooltip.text value in a JS function but I can't find a way to do it. I've tried many things but don't really find a way to do it.
informationModel.clear()
informationModel.append ({"name" : "Ansible Playbook :" , "path.ToolTip.text" : obj.ansiblePath , "path" : obj.ansiblePath.split('/').pop() })
informationModel.append ({"name" : "Configuration File :" , "path.ToolTip.text" : qsTr(obj.ansiblePath) , "path" : displayConf.split('/').pop() })
informationModel.append ({"name" : "Firmware File :" , "path.ToolTip.text" : qsTr(obj.ansiblePath) , "path" : displayFirmware.split('/').pop() })
Let me know if you have a hint about this issue ;)

Your approach is wrong, the model does not directly modify the view but the view uses the model to modify itself, so in your case you must create a property and make a binding with the ToolTip.text:
Component{
id:informationDelegate
Column{
required property string name
required property string path
required property string message
spacing: 5
height: 60
Text {
text: name
font.bold: true
color: "#ffffff"
}
Text {
text: path
ToolTip.delay: 1000
ToolTip.visible: ma.containsMouse
ToolTip.text: message
MouseArea {
id: ma
anchors.fill: parent
hoverEnabled: true
}
}
}
}
informationModel.clear()
informationModel.append({"name" : "Ansible Playbook :" , "message" :"message1" , "path" : "path1" })
informationModel.append({"name" : "Configuration File :" , "message" : "message2" , "path" : "path2" })
informationModel.append({"name" : "Firmware File :" , "message" : "message3" , "path" : "path3" })
