<p>Hi Harrissou,</p>
<p>I would report it as a bug. I would also expect that an expression with just the field in it would work.</p>

<div>OK. Like usual, it's when you send the message that you get the answer by your own. :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The problem is an underlying issue where the expresssion "myfield" seems to not be the same as "myfield" field ie, instead of selecting the field from the data-defined "Field type" menu, I was mechanically opening the data-defined "Edit..." expression dialog and selecting the same field. The field values are applied to rotation but it's not recognized as a field the tool could update.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Should I report a bug or is it intended/known limitation?</div>
<div> </div>

The docs [0] seems wrong (or broken?) and whatever I try (including creating a field named "rotation"), I get a "The selected point does not have a rotation (or an offset) attribute set." message. And no help on how I could set this attribute...<br /> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 .8ex; border-left: 1px #ccc solid; padding-left: 1ex;">Works fine here. I just data define link it over to an appropriate<br /> field (numeric for rotation, string for offset), and then the tools<br /> work as described.<br /> </blockquote>
<div>Exactly what I did for the rotate tool. The And doing it again changes nothing:</div>
<div>- I thought it had to do with temporary layer, hence switched to shp : fail</div>
<div>- swithed field type from integer to double: nothing</div>
<div>- I thought it was because i had not saved the file yet (something that would be related to auxiliary storage) then I saved the file: niente</div>
<div>- May be it's a matter of qgs vs qgz? Neither</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I always get that odd message about attribute not set.</div>
<div>I'm on Win 10 using master c94eefb6df. What could trigger that?</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 .8ex; border-left: 1px #ccc solid; padding-left: 1ex;">The only thing I can think of is that the docs are a little unclear here:<br /> <br /> "near the Rotation option of the highest level (preferably) of the<br /> symbol layers"<br /> <br /> This should be set at the "marker" level, not at an individual layer<br /> level. (i.e. click the "Marker" entry in the list, not "simple marker"<br /> and set the rotation there).<br /> <br /> Offset can be set at any layer and it will work.<br /> <br /> Nyall<br /> <br /> <br /> ><br /> > [0] <a href="https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/editing_geometry_attributes.html#rotate-point-symbols" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/editing_geometry_attributes.html#rotate-point-symbols</a><br /> ><br /> > Regards,<br /> > Harrissou<br /> > _______________________________________________<br /> > QGIS-Developer mailing list<br /> > <a href="mailto:QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org">QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org</a><br /> > List info: <a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer</a><br /> > Unsubscribe: <a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer</a></blockquote>
