'Field containing label' setting is lost each time when reopening project in case if label field is set from joined table.

3. Join table to vector layer

5. Save project and close.

History

#1 Updated by Ivan Mincik about 12 years ago

Tested on latest 'release-1_7' branch.

#2 Updated by Marco Hugentobler about 12 years ago

Seems to me this is only with old labelling, not with the new one. Do you confirm?

#3 Updated by Gerhard Spieles about 12 years ago

Yes, I can confirm this. It is only using the old labeling in layers properties.

A similar problem occurs in this case:
If the layer is structured in layer properties, "style", "rule based" or "categorized", no label of the joined table is displayed in the map.

#4 Updated by Alessandro Ciali about 12 years ago

I experienced a similar behaviour.
I have a DXF added as layer, I joined a table, I used a joined field as label size (properties - label - advanced) and it works fine; on saving exiting and repoening the project, the join was saved but label settings for size field is lost. W7 with QGIS Master 3a2c0e9.
