DMPlexSection creates the Section based on the discretization information in the DM (stored in a PetscDS). If no discretization info is available, then it defaults to P0 I think, which is what you got. After discretization info is put into the DM, if I ask for the Section, the DM will create it automatically if it is missing. > However, I've run into a related problem now.

That is just sending data around. You want to define an FEM field. We use DMProject*() for this. These take as input either a function of the coordinates (regular function) or another FEM field. Can you tell me how your function is defined? I mean apart from the particular data you have at points.
