Description

Using qgis-master, the list of columns to choose from under the size scale field and rotation field fails to display columns from joined layer(s). It appears to be the only part of the new symbology that fails to take into account joined layers.

works for me in qgis-master. Please check that fields of your joined layer/table are actually of numeric type - e.g. in layer properties -> fields. Fields with "string" type are naturally not shown.

Martin, right, adding a .cvst file defining the integer / real columns did it. It's a pretty obscure requirement for the average Joe.

That said, it did reveal a different issue, that is QGIS apparently can't read the value of these joined columns (i.e. if I want to graduate a joined integer column in 5 steps, the five steps will have '0.0000 - 0.0000' as min max range. Can you confirm this is the case with you?

it doesn't work for equal intervals, but seems to work with other modes (ex. quantiles).

IMO, better to close this bug instead of morphing it. Who knows, it might help somebody else not knowing only Integer/Real fields are shown in the list.

I wonder whether an issue should be field surrounding the absence of user friendly hint within the interface re this.
