Power Apps Component - Table Property Issue

I have a component for Sidebar Menu, which has a MenuItems property of type 'Table'. When assigning a Table object directly to this property, the component works fine in a Screen. But when the Table object is a global variable created at App.OnStart and is assigned to the component, the component does not work (i.e., the menu items are not displayed).

The global table object is created:

The component property is assigned in Screen.OnVisible:

The error shown is:

How do I assign the Table object to the component's Table type property?
