<p>Hi Luke -<span style="mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>Running this code in the QGIS Python console: <br>
<b><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><br>
vector_layer = iface.activeLayer() # Active layer _is_ from GeoPackage<br>
field_name = 'Land Use Category' # "New_field" changed to "field_name"<br>
<br>
new_field = QgsField(field_name, QVariant.String)<br>
vector_layer.dataProvider().addAttributes([new_field])</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>will add an extra column with the name "<b>Land Use Category</b>" to the GeoPackage layer
<o:p></o:p></p>
