To do this in the past I've used an object array which would read a bit less hacky.

userListModel: [ QtObject { /*...*/} ]

That would still hit the Qt crash unless I declare all used properties, which is the part I wanted to avoid.

Tested on top of the 5.16 beta, works fine. Please add a comment referencing the QTBUG though, so that this doesn't get reintroduced by accident.

FWIW, the relevant Qt bug is fixed.

Yes, but the workaround here has no actual downsides, and the upside is avoiding a guaranteed crash with the still latest non-development release of Qt.
