Jukka,

Automatic FID preservation requires that the source layer reports a non-empty column name for the FID column, which isn't the case of the GeoJSON driver. Mostly only SQL-based drivers will report a non-empty FID column name.

Even

Hi,

Take this GeoJSON

{

"type": "FeatureCollection",

"features": [{

"type": "Feature",

"id":12425552,

"properties":

{

},

"geometry": {

"type": "Point",

"coordinates": [26.30578223, 60.26170791]

}

}]

}

Ogrinfo knows the fid

OGRFeature(one_feature):12425552

Convert into a new GeoPackage and the native fid is lost

ogr2ogr -f gpkg one_feature.gpkg one_feature.json

OGRFeature(one_feature):1

Running the command with “-preserve_fid” keeps the native fid but according to ogr2ogr documentation https://gdal.org/programs/ogr2ogr.html <https://gdal.org/programs/ogr2ogr.html> that should not be needed:

“Use the FID of the source features instead of letting the output driver automatically assign a new one (for formats that require a FID). If not in append mode, this behavior is the default if the output driver has a FID layer creation option, in which case the name of the source FID column will be used and source feature IDs will be attempted to be preserved.”

Is the error in the documentation or in the GeoJSON-GeoPackage conversion?
