Destination field matters. While the destination field has numeric type, and
values can of course be converted to numbers then conversion will succeed and
values will be numerically typed.

Hi Junior,
thanks, get it. So numeric conversion are sinful only between numeric fields
right?
Cheers

hi,
If your field is recognized by QGIS as a string one, trying to overwrite its
values type will fail as they are intended to be string in THIS field. This is
why when you create a new numeric field and make conversion, it's ok (this new
field expect numeric values, so it'll recognize your conversion).

Hi all,
I have a filed made up by numeric values but recognized as text (should be a
WFS issue and not a QGIS problem).
I've used the 'toreal' function of the field calculator in order to update the
field but nothing changed (numbers are still read as text).
Strange is that if I create a new field using the 'toreal' function, values are
correctly read as numbers and not as text.
Am I missing something or can be a bug?
BTW: debian testing and QGIS 2.8.1
Cheers
Matteo
