[Qgis-user] Auto-fill id in attribute table when creating a feature

[Alexandre Neto]

Just ignore the ID field, It's created just for the reason you already
mentioned, the fact that the shapefile needs at least one field. You can
leave it blank and/or add any other columns that you need. QGIS will save
an internal ID anyway, you can access to is usin the $id function in the
filed calculator, or using the identifier tool in the feature.
