Hi Ed, In addition to what Matthias said, there is also Virtual Fields an example of them can be seen here
https://www.northrivergeographic.com/archives/qgis-2-6-virtual-fields http://changelog.kartoza.com/en/qgis/section/expressions-23/print/149/ I believe this may be of some help. Note Virtual fields are not saved as part of the Layer, but as Part of the active project. You could though make them permanent when you’re finished, by creating a new field and using the virtual field as the source. Hope this helps, Richard. —— Richard McDonnell MSc GIS, FME Certified Professional FRM Data Management —— Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí Office of Public Works Sráid Jonathan Swift, Baile Átha Troim, Co na Mí, C15 NX36 Jonathan Swift Street, Trim, Co Meath, C15 NX36 —— M +353 87 688 5964 T +353 1 647 6543 https://www.opw.ie —— To send me files larger than 30MB, please use the link below https://filetransfer.opw.ie/filedrop/[email protected] Email Disclaimer: https://www.opw.ie/en/disclaimer/ From: Qgis-user <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Matthias Kuhn Sent: 21 January 2020 20:32 To: Ed Hawkins <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Attribute Assistant Hi Ed, I must acknowledge my complete lack of the ESRI tools, so I am left with the first hits I find in an internet search to guess what it does exactly. My first guess is, that "default value" configuration is what you are looking for. There is support for QGIS expressions - which opens up a wide variety of possibilities.
