I’m not going to speechify a lot. Basically, standard scheme works, but my goal was to use roles as columns.In theory it was OK but every time I’ve met absence of data in my table. The only indicator that table works was increasing row counter

The problem was that roleNames() method of QAbstractItemModel class was not called. And the reason is that the method must be protected! For some reason this method in the Qt documentation as well as in tons of examples defined as public, and this is works in most cases but not for TableView!
