[Qgis-user] Changes in table attribute causes "Invalid Field Index" error when trying to save

[Alexandre Neto]

Can anyone confirm me this error?

I already created a ticket for it: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/6735


I'm using, QGIS 1.8 6416f38, in a Windows Vista 32bit Machine. Changes in
table attribute causes "Invalid Field Index" error when trying to save.

The error occurs doing the following steps:
- Open editing;
- Create new field; # Ups... not the field type I wanted
- DO NOT SAVE;
- Erase the same field;
- Save edition.

QGIS is enable to save the changes trowing the following error:

Could not commit changes to layer teste2

  Errors: ERROR: 1 attribute(s) not deleted.
  SUCCESS: 1 attribute(s) added.
  SUCCESS: 1 attribute value(s) changed.

  Provider errors:
  OGR error deleting field 1: Invalid field index

The error only occurs when deleting a recent created fields.

After that, the shapefile index seems to be messed up and data edited in
new fields may keep throwing errors, or even be lost.

I haven't tried in a Linux machine.

WORKAROUND: Always save editing immediately after creating a new field.
