"blue pencil" Attribute Edit

[sdikiy]

Can not edit object attributes -- when clicking on object in edit mode, info popup appears. Should appear "Enter attribute values", but "Identify results" pops up.

Please, modify QgsMapToolIdentify::identifyVectorLayer in /trunk/qgis/src/app/qgsmaptoolidentify.cpp (add line from 417,516 to 589 in really used function). If it`s possible.

Hi, Marco

What reason for remove ability 'Attribute Edit' in QgsMapToolIdentify::identifyVectorLayer r7884?

​https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/browser/trunk/qgis/src/app/qgsmaptoolidentify.cpp?rev=7884

Thank you.

Hi sdikiy

The reason is that QgsVectorLayer is not able to cope with geometry edits and attribute edits (uncommited changes) at the same time. It is a deficiency and hopefully it can be solved in the future. Because of this deficiency, the attribute table is modal for attribute edits such that user has to close it before doing further map editing. In the same sense, I commented out the code in QgsMapToolIdentify that would allow users to change values in edit mode.

What a coincidence. I just ran into that problem and working it...

Huh? You can set the configure the identify tool to open the feature form when you identify a single feature - which is in editing mode, if the layer is. If you hit multiple features, you need to open a feature form for each feature from the action form.
