Hi Andreas,
On first sight I'd also say that disabling the checkbox is the right
thing to do.
For the other proposed behavior the requirements seem unclear (i.e.
should the selection be preserved or the values changed when the
selection changes), so we need a specific use case where this is
required to take a decision.
Best regards
Matthias

Hi,
We came across an inconsistency in the field calculator:
One can select the checkbox "Only update xx selected features" in
combination with creating a new virtual field. This is quite
misleading for the user, as the result is that all features (not only
the selected ones) are updated.
I see the following solutions:
- disable the checkbox "only update xx selected features" as soon as a
the field is created as virtual (the easy fix)
- change the behavior of virtual fields in order to really allow
update of selected features only. This would probably imply that we
have to store the primary keys of the selected features somewhere and
can lead to follow-up problems later on.
Any opinions on this?
Personally I would say that virtual fields cannot update "selected
only features" and disable that checkbox as soon as virtual fields are
created.
