[Qgis-user] Column selection in Styles dialog breaks styles in latest master

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey Nathanael,

The behaviour of the renderer hasn't changed between 1.8 and 2.0. You can
still add new values by changing the column and pressing classify.  It will
ask you if you want to delete what is there or add to it.

The renderer will look in the selected column for each value, so if it's
set to "highway" but you have values like "bikepath" that isn't going to
match.

You can need to classify based on two columns I would use the rule based
rendering.

- Nathan
