I have a dialog as attached object in my page. My interaction with it is just my_dialog.open() on some events but I'm asking me if it would be possible to access its components (in this case some text fields) to modify their content.

The dialog has a structure like:

Dialog{

  Container {

    Container {

       TextField {
          id: text_field_one

something like my_dialog.text_field_one.text = ... however does not work.

if you access it in the same qml you should be able to modify the textfield by its id only, like "text_field_one.text ="
otherwise you should define a property for it.

My dialog does indeed reside in a separate file. How do I defina a property for it?

You can do that via the objectName property.

attachedObjects:[

Dialog{

  objectName: "mydialog"

  Container {

    Container {

       TextField {
          id: text_field_one

          objectName:"mytextfield"

...

Then from C++ use

Dialog* mydialog = root->findChild<Dialog*>("mydialog");
TextField* mytextfield = mydialog->findChild<TextField*>("mytextfield");

This also works for attached object defined in their own QML file.
