<ul></ul><p>Thanks for that!! I still took me a bit to work it out with the info they had there and there are some very specific things you need to set to get it to display properly, but I got there. I may look at putting it in the user manual at some point in the near future to help others.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #20267: Data defined override into legend items automaticallyhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/20267?journal_id=951612018-11-01T08:43:30ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>did you find the solution to your problem in that ticket? if yes can you explain please?</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #20267: Data defined override into legend items automaticallyhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/20267?journal_id=952942018-11-04T09:52:50ZPatrick Harveypatrick_harvey333@hotmail.com
<ul></ul><p>It is a little more complicated than just looking at that ticket.</p>
<p>It gave me a few key words that I searched online. I realised that I was using the wrong kind of categorisation. I was using a simple marker where I needed to be using a graduated symbol (or one that allowed me to make a data defined legend) with colour to define one of my fields (in my case gold) and then I needed to data define the override on the size of the marker (arsenic). This then gave me the option of a data defined legend. I also had to set the default size of my marker in the data defined size override to greater than 0 otherwise it did not show on the legend.</p>
<p>If you need more detail I would be happy to help out. If it is needed I can write this into the user manual so that other people can use it too.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #20267: Data defined override into legend items automaticallyhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/20267?journal_id=952972018-11-04T14:03:54ZHarrissou Santanna
<ul></ul><p>Maybe I don't understand well your initial report but based on your last feedback, maybe you were in need of something like <a class="external" href="https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#proportional-symbol-and-multivariate-analysis">https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#proportional-symbol-and-multivariate-analysis</a>? which is a bit different from the other thread.</p>

<p>Yes please! Help improve the manual with anything that can be valuable for users.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #20267: Data defined override into legend items automaticallyhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/20267?journal_id=953292018-11-05T02:04:57ZPatrick Harveypatrick_harvey333@hotmail.com
<ul></ul><p>Yes that is exactly what I needed. I will still look at writing it into the user manual in a clear and simple manner.</p>
