Bug report #9008
Updated by Regis Haubourg about 6 years ago
Hi,
When editing data in attribute view, if commit is raising error, there is no way to save pending edits.
More precisely, two cumulated problems:
# when trying to edit text longer than column type (character varying 150, typing 200 character values), commits raise error. Every other software raises a warning and then truncate values to max possible length.
# editing in full screen attribute view, soft error bar is not show (they raise in main window), then 8 save actions where logged in error, but I didn't see them from the attribute view, I lost 2 hours work on a field. Saving pending edits in another format is not possible, since qgis reads datasource when exporting, and not in memory edits. The only way I could have save my work was using a copy-paste action to a spreadsheet.
RESULT: When should find a way to show errors logs on save in attribute view also. Provider should try to truncate the values to the size of field. I one value is too long, the whole table can't be saved!
