Description
Create a temporary layer.
Add fields to the layer using the attribute table. Yesterday I was convinced the issue resides in the firt field being of string type but further tests before I report show that integer can also raise it.
Add features with their attributes.
In the locator bar, do a search with "af ".
Instead of features the layer would return a cryptic [Please define preview text] (no clue on the meaning nor how to fix).
The same text is shown in layer properties --> Display tab until you pick a field. Next search in locator won't show that text anymore.
PS: looks like creating the field in the layer properties does fill the display name field, thus no message in search.
