PyQt: How to make widget scrollable

Other than the obvious typo (I'm sure you meant QScrollArea), I can't see anything wrong with what you've posted. So the problem must lie elsewhere in your code: a missing layout maybe?

Generally speaking, problems with scroll-areas are most often caused by failing to call setWidgetResizable(True) and/or failing to ensure all the relevant widgets are properly managed by layouts. Also, when dynamically adding widgets to a scroll-area it's usually desirable to add a stretchable spacer to the end of a vertical/horizontal layout so that the widgets retain their positions during resizing. (This implies dynamically created widgets should be inserted after the terminating spacer, like this: layout.insertWidget(layout.count() - 1, widget)).

Just to make sure we're on the same page, a minimal script based on the example code in the question works as expected for me:

PyQt5/PyQt6

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
# from PyQt6 import QtWidgets

class Window(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, val):
        super().__init__()
        mygroupbox = QtWidgets.QGroupBox('this is my groupbox')
        myform = QtWidgets.QFormLayout()
        labellist = []
        combolist = []
        for i in range(val):
            labellist.append(QtWidgets.QLabel('mylabel'))
            combolist.append(QtWidgets.QComboBox())
            myform.addRow(labellist[i],combolist[i])
        mygroupbox.setLayout(myform)
        scroll = QtWidgets.QScrollArea()
        scroll.setWidget(mygroupbox)
        scroll.setWidgetResizable(True)
        scroll.setFixedHeight(200)
        layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
        layout.addWidget(scroll)

if __name__ == '__main__':

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(['Test'])
    window = Window(12)
    window.setGeometry(500, 300, 300, 200)
    window.show()
    app.exec_()

PyQt4

from PyQt4 import QtGui

class Window(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, val):
        QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self)
        mygroupbox = QtGui.QGroupBox('this is my groupbox')
        myform = QtGui.QFormLayout()
        labellist = []
        combolist = []
        for i in range(val):
            labellist.append(QtGui.QLabel('mylabel'))
            combolist.append(QtGui.QComboBox())
            myform.addRow(labellist[i],combolist[i])
        mygroupbox.setLayout(myform)
        scroll = QtGui.QScrollArea()
        scroll.setWidget(mygroupbox)
        scroll.setWidgetResizable(True)
        scroll.setFixedHeight(200)
        layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
        layout.addWidget(scroll)

if __name__ == '__main__':

    app = QtGui.QApplication(['Test'])
    window = Window(12)
    window.setGeometry(500, 300, 300, 200)
    window.show()
    app.exec()
