Hi Simon, It is a bit data provider dependent. For many data providers (e.g. Postgis, SpatiaLite, Geopackage) you just don't fill in this value (or better set the edit widget to "read only") - provided that the database has a sequence defined for the primary key column. The values are filled in when saving the data. In 2.16 there is a new mode for PostgreSQL to immediately get the id value (experimental).
What data format are you using? Greetings, Andreas On 2016-05-31 13:43, Simon Muirhead wrote: > Hi, I am new to QGIS, coming from ARCGiS.
