I also have a backup in case this doesn't work which is a button to get the details.  However, I would like to have it such that whichever item is selected/highlighted, would get shown in the item details group box.

So what exactly is your problem?

This won't work. There's no such signal on a QTreeView. You should look
up the API in the PyQt docs (or Qt docs) to see which kind of signal you
can use. Probably though you need to connect to the SelectionModel of
your treeview to get notified about selection changes. See
QTreeView.selectionModel()
