Not reproducible here. Maybe your shapefile does not have any field with "integer" datatype?

#3 Updated by Paul Ramsey over 10 years ago

You can tell I'm a programmer, because that's the first thing I thought. I did have a file full of reals, so I made one with integers, and still no go. I'd hope that the system would not be too pedantic to use real number inputs though.

Hi Alex,

I have also tested shapes and postgis with integer columns and no joy. Weird.

  • Priority changed from Severe/Regression to Normal

On QGIS master the tool in the vector menu seems to work now with shapes and integer columns, but seems also that integer postgis columns are not recognized.

On the other hand the same tool in the processing toolbox works as expected, so I guess that the priority of this ticket can be lowered.
