[FEATURE] Default values on update

m-kuhn · m-kuhn · commit 08cb2d78d3be · 2017-09-29T17:55:02.000+02:00
Add an option to add default values on update of attributes or geometry. This can be seen as a "derived value" that will be saved to the database (like area of a polygon) or as a means to track last_modified dates etc. See #5218
