Class: QgsLayoutConfigObject

An object for property widgets for layout items.

All layout config type widgets should contain this object.

If you are creating a new QgsLayoutItem configuration widget, you should instead inherit from QgsLayoutItemBaseWidget (rather then directly working with QgsLayoutConfigObject).
