Which is what I'm doing besides going crazy :)

I never edit the ui file. I keep it as a base and eventually I create 
many .py files depending on how the debug goes. I know that it is 
confusing and that I fill the dir with files but sometimes I start from 
an idea and as everything evolves I can change my mind and therefore I 
have a base plus a certain series of more or less functional back ups

The example is perfect, but if I don't have an entry point for my tables 
in the ui-> py file, I don't know where to start. I created a ui file 
with scrollArea containing a number of tables, transformed it into py, I 
"analyzed the code, I deleted all the tables by inserting mine, with the 
necessary changes. Result: I get what I expect. Then the problems begin. .

Thank you, later will give it a try. Actually I need to fill the 
scrollArea with my tables.

Now I try to prepare a reproducible code because I can't get out of it
