[GRASS] enable to attache attributes to geom without cat, fixes #13739

History

#1 Updated by Radim Blazek over 8 years ago

Test for this issue (currently disabled ) was added in f3d9e75.

The possibility to attach attributes to a geometry (with no cat) can be enabled here:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/e8cb8c1a9/src/providers/grass/qgsgrassprovider.cpp#L1728
by changing the line to:

if ( !FID_IS_NEW( fid ) && (layerField > 0 && layerField != mLayerField) )

then the line is rewritten with new cat and attributes are inserted to table.

The problem is undo, because undo of change attribute is just another change attribute command and it is hard to recognize it from regular change attribute command and delete the cat/attributes when it is undo. It is also complicated by the fact that !QUndoStack has no signal before undo, which could help us to recognize undo.
