<p>Hi Cory,</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with your feature or bug request (whatever it is ;-) ) - there is certainly value for it!</p>
<p>But there is a point in the temporal controller in presentation-only mode. It covers probably >90% of the use cases - as most many users don't edit temporal data, but analyze and present it.</p>
<p>With the same argument you could say - what is the point of having point cloud data in QGIS if you can't edit the point cloud data? Or many other new features we have in QGIS - that have a value even in cases where a new functionality isn't fully implemented in all details.</p>

<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That was my thought, too. Also, what is the point of having a presentation-only tool for temporal data in QGIS if you cannot practically or effectively edit that temporal data in QGIS as well?</span></div>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Honestly, whether this is a bug or a feature request is debatable, I personally think that it is a bug because a user would not expect that a basic software action like editing gets broken when the temporal controller is active: we should either disable editing in that case or make editing work with the controller.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, I just wanted to underline that if this is to be considered a feature request it wouldn't be eligible for a grant (that explicitly forbids new features).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind regards.</div>

<div>Hi Cory,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yes - I would also think that this is not a bug, but a feature request. It was never claimed that the temporal controller works fine in conjunction with editing tools. The temporal controller was designed as a presentation tool and not for editing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To improve the situation you would have to consult with one of the core contributor companies listed at <a href="https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/commercial_support.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/commercial_support.html</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>You could write a specification, ask one of the core contributor companies for a quote and finance it yourself. Or you could try to write a QEP (QGIS enhancement proposal) and submit it as a QGIS grant project. Incidentally, Anita just issued the "<a href="https://blog.qgis.org/2022/01/16/qgis-grants-7-call-for-grant-proposals-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Call for participation</a>" for the 2022 QGIS grants. If you could find a company that is interested in working on this, and team up with them to write a QEP, it could be submitted as a QGIS grant. The deadline for the QGIS grants is February 13.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This would definitely be more work than what could be covered by smaller donations.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope this helps,</div>

<div style="font-family: monospace;">I filed a number of bugs a year ago about various digitising tools that no longer worked correctly as a result of the newly implemented Dynamic Temporal Controller. Things like the vertex tool and the snapping tool that continue to react to invisible features outside of temporal scope making it difficult, if not impossible to use those tools with temporal data.</div>
<div style="font-family: monospace;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: monospace;">The bugs were, unfortunately, reclassified as feature requests, and have not been fixed since. I'd like to see them fixed because they cause me much difficulty and frustration when I am using QGIS.</div>
