[Qgis-developer] Python init script

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Bernhard,

I am able to change the attribute value in the feature record, but the 
attribute dialog does not update the value. Probably because "feature" 
is not live-linked but a copy of the record?

The other bad thing is that there is no way to address widgets by 
objectName. They don't seem to have object names in drag-and-drop mode 
or in the standard feature form mode. So no way to use 
dialog.findChild() or dialog findChildren(). Only if you use qtdesigner 
forms you can set the objectname.

I think that the widgets in the feature form should be addressable by 
objectName in the future. Will open a feature request.

Andreas
