Hi,

If you are using a geopackage, you are probably getting a message that the file cannot be saved as geopackage requires a unique id field.   You can open the field calculator and update the field using $id  for the unique ID field.  If you delete this unique ID field, it will be recreated correctly if you delete the field and save the file (if you save in a geopackage file format).  (I guess this also has the potential to corrupt the file so this would be a last chance option).  You can also use the  autoincremental field function found in processing if you don't have a unique id field.

Hi All

I have two vector polygon layers, soil and native vegetation respectively. I used vector-geoprocessing tools-Difference to get the output of the soils that had no native vegetation.

The problem is that there are now multiple polygons that share the same objectid as they are remnants of an original polygon. This is repeated through the layer.

How can I renumber the objectids so each polygon has a unique value?

I need to be able to identify each polygon and also calculate its area.

Regards

Keith
