Hihi… learned something new with this. Vue adds the component instance to an array element in a v-for with refs. So, you have to access the first element of the array to get the underlying component internals. Yet, if you set a ref outside a v-for loop, the instance is directly on the named element of the $refs array. Hmm…
Getting back to your challenge… name isn’t a QBtn property. If you add it additionally, it’s an attribute. Check my codepen now, if that is what you are looking for.

If not, I’d tend to believe you are trying to accomplish something that is not standard practice with Vue. If you’d explain your use case better, we might be able to help you find the right path to a better solution.
