<ul></ul><p>Yes - a very annoying problem!</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #14546: Reads Long Integers/integer64 Fields As Strings In Shapefileshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/14546?journal_id=713802016-06-28T01:53:09ZMartin Dobiaswonder.sk@gmail.com
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>Feedback</i></li></ul><p>Please could you attach a shapefile that exhibits the problem? Thanks...</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #14546: Reads Long Integers/integer64 Fields As Strings In Shapefileshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/14546?journal_id=713882016-06-28T05:13:58ZColin MacLeodcdmacleod@GISinEcology.com
<ul><li><strong>File</strong> <a href="/attachments/download/10101/Polygon_Grid_North_Sea_WGS84.zip">Polygon_Grid_North_Sea_WGS84.zip</a> added</li></ul><p>Attached is the shapefile which caused me problems when teaching. Any existing integer64 fields are changed to string/text when the data layer is first added, and any processing on this (including adding new integer fields), results in integer fields being changed to string/text when they are saved. Any problems with this, or if you don't find this same problem, let me know and I'll give more precise instructions on exactly what was being done when the problem arose.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>

<ul></ul><p>The CELL_ID_NO fied is detected by GDAL >= 2.0 as Integer64. I guess the reason for the issue is that QGIS 2.8 on Windows is now built against GDAL 2.1 whereas the codebase is not ready at all to deal with Integer64. So I guess that GDAL 1.11 is the only reasonable choice for QGIS 2.8.</p>
<p>Anyway QGIS 2.14 (and 2.16 even more) should be much better regarding this. Colin, could you try the qgis-rel / qgis 2.14 ?</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #14546: Reads Long Integers/integer64 Fields As Strings In Shapefileshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/14546?journal_id=714832016-06-30T09:04:59ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
<ul><li><strong>Resolution</strong> set to <i>wontfix</i></li><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Feedback</i> to <i>Closed</i></li></ul><p>The issue does not show in qgis master and the develoment branch of 2.14, the next lts due in a few days, so as suggested in the PSC list closing this as wontfix.</p>
