Re: [Qgis-user] Auto-fill id in attribute table when creating a feature
OK. Maybe not. But are you not interested in adding attribute values to the features you can set that the attribute form doesn’t show after adding features. Look in the top of section digitizing in the options dialog. http://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/qgis_configuration.html#options Karl-Magnus Jönsson Från: Simon Muirhead [mailto:si...@simsurf.com.au] Skickat: den 31 maj 2016 15:27 Till: Karl-Magnus Jönsson Ämne: Re: SV: [Qgis-user] Auto-fill id in attribute table when creating a feature Hi Karl, it won't let you create a shape file without at least one field in the attribute table.

Hi! Do you really need the ID field in the shapefile? If not you can drop it, hide it or ignore it and it works anyway.

Hi, I am new to QGIS, coming from ARCGiS. I was wondering when creating a new feature in a shape file, QGIS asks to fill in the id in the attribute table for every feature created. Is there anyway to have this done automatically like ARCGiS does?
