Description

In the new QGIS 2.4 an empty attribute dialog is shown when adding a feature to a memory layer, which does not contain any fields. So you have to click OK in this empty dialog to proceed, which was not the case in QGIS 2.2.
Not sure if its a bug or a feature though :-)

Suppress attribute form popup if layer has no fields

Prevents empty form popup for layers with no fields (eg memory layers).
If desired, this behaviour can be overriden by the layer's feature
form suppress option, eg if form has python logic which makes it useful
even with no fields.

(fix #10775)

Status changed from Open to Closed

You can use the option "suppress attribute form..." option in layer properties/fields to get the same behavior.
We didn't want to forbid to show an empty dialog because there might be python logic in there (e.g. you could show coordinates on a r/o label).
