Problem¶

I have a large map, reading a KML file into a hierarchical shape layer in QGIS. The map has been in progress for about 18 months and was started with an earlier version of QGIS. One of the features I'm using is an attribute table in composer to enumerate data tables that are useful in the project but inconvenient to display on the map as labels (at least until some differential formatting of labels, such as HTML tags, are supported).

I made a change in the site labeling format in Google Earth and updated the KML file (from BX04 to BX.04, for clarity) which was reflected, as expected, in the field values visible in Expressions Dialog Map->Layer->Properties->Label With->Expression Dialog

When I opened the composer window for a map, the field values were not updated. Print Composer->Attributes->Expression Dialog

Experiments¶

I attempted the following:

• Click the "refresh table data" button (many times)
• Click the "refresh view" button (many times)
• Restart QGIS
• Reboot computer
• Check for updates (none)

Nothing seems to help. There's only stale data in the attribute table.

I created a new attribute table:

And it still has stale data (note that the map view shows current data)

I created a new composer, with a single base map, and added an attribute table, same result. I can't seem to get the attribute table data to sync with the map data. Help help help.
