Description

The "value map" widget does not handle NULL values. The code in qgsvaluemapsearchwidgetwrapper.cpp does not have any handling of NULL values, like the other editing widgets have.

In particular, this makes it impossible to reset values to NULL using the "value map" widget.

(When using shape files, numerical values can be reset to NULL by using an empty string as value, but with other providers such as PostGIS, this only leads to the error message that '' is not a valid numerical value.)

"master" from July 2016 was already the branch for QGIS 3?

#12 Updated by Daan Goedkoop over 7 years ago

Apparently. I thought it was in time for the 2.18 feature freeze, but I cannot find the commits anywhere in the 2.18 branch. But they are in master.

(Personally I wouldn't mind this to be in 2.18, because at my work I now maintain a custom 2.18 branch/fork with just this patch.)
