[Qgis-user] QGIS attribute forms question

[Andreas Neumann]

Dear Brent,

Hm - this is not what I observe. Normally you should be able to carry over
attribute widget definitions to other layers even if the attributes don't
fully match. It would assign those who match.

Are you talking about the "drag and drop" configuration mode (there are
three different form configuration modes).

I used this all the time when I was configuring more complex projects. I
never had issues when adding or removing columns.

If this doesn't work, it should be reported as a bug with data helping to
reproduce the issue.

I am sure this can be fixed.

Andreas
