Hi Core Devs, I'm thinking about a solution for this
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/40213 (PyQGIS: iface.openFeatureForm() seems not to handle autofill fields) My conclusion is: the normal handling of default values or expression based attribute values, and the opening of the form dialog, are 'locked' in QgsFeatureAction::addFeature (glued together with the opening of the form): https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/app/qgsfeatureaction.cpp#L168-L320 I do see a way to fix it (as in: use "iface.openFeatureForm: in PyQGIS WITH the handling of default and expression values). I wonder if anybody has an opinion about moving part of this functionality to the vector layer. Talking about - setting defaults - setting expression based values So QgsFeatureAction::addFeature would be shrunken till: - layer.initAttributesForFeatures (or somethink like that) - open feature form... Is this OK for others? Or is the general opinion that you should copy all this to PyQGIS if you want to open the feature form? Thanks for any input.
