Description

after digitising new polygons into an existing dataset i want to merge two to make a multipart polygon. This appears successful until I try to commit the changes and get the error

_Could not commit changes to layer XXX

Errors: ERROR: 1 feature(s) not added - geometry type is not compatible with the current layer._

I have used an alternative GIS to merge and commit this fine and have previously used these tools fine. I updated my QGIS version last week to QGIS version 3.4.6-Madeira

Sample uploaded - thanks
I have noted that it is TAB format that won't commit - this was the format of my source data I was working with.
SHP was fine after I did further testing since logging the bug - so do I just rule out that it's the format? Or should QGIS support TAB?

  • Operating System deleted (Windows)

QGIS (so also OGR I think) see it as

Geometry
Polygon (Polygon)

so it is expected it does not accept multi-geometries.

Did it worked in a different way in previous qgis releases?
