[Qgis-user] Vertex tool not working on lines when style with 'attribute' assigned

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

This looks like a good bug report! I would do one.  Have you tried making a virtual field with the attributes?  This way, you can query two fields and not an attribute and a field. The end result would be the same but perhaps, without a bug... I have been doing that with no trouble for a couples of weeks now for a project.  Never tried doing it your way exactly.

> If I have a styled line or polygon and use the 'attribute' expression in the filter, then once the shapefile has been saved, closed and then re-opened, then the vertex editor does not work and I cannot edit any of the lines or polygons in the shapefile and the only way I can is to open the same shapefile without a style of with one not using attribute in the filter. I use the same shapefile numerous times and use the layer name to  display specific lines as relevant to that layer. E.g. the table has a field called Plan1801, so the layer name starts Plan1801. An example of the style is: attribute($currentfeature, left(@layer_name,8)) = 'Y' AND Type = 'Chalk'), so if a record in the shapefile table has a 'Y' in the Plan1801 column and 'Chalk' in the type column it will display as that style. If I change the style to Plan1801 ='Y' AND Type = 'Chalk' the vertex editor works fine.

If there is, I have not as yet found one.
