Description

Symbolize a line layer with the Marker line symbol layer type
In the Marker placement section, you can:
  • set a value/field/variable to both the two DD buttons,
  • check any radio-button (geometric or interval)

I think it should not be possible to have both data-defined buttons activated at the same time.
Even if the setting is saved, I think one of them should be deactivated (and shown as deactivated) according to the "radio-button" option being checked, i.e if i select "on every vertex" or any-related option, the data-defined button to set an interval value should not be kept yellow. It should be deactivated
And if i use the interval DD button or the interval spinbox, then the geometric DD button should not be in activated state.

Currently, user could end up with a state in which he does not know which DD is currently being applied

This issue report assumed that "Interval spinbox" choice was not concerned by the first DD but (a kind of mutually exclusive options) - see #16212. But this isn't the case and it can make sense to have both DD buttons operating together so I guess it's invalid. Closing...
