[Qgis-user] Readonly geometries

[Simon Gröchenig]

Hi,
thank you for all your valuable suggestions and opinions.
@Francesco: The project will be used with other people who will use the map and edit some attributes in the field (using QField and Mergin).
Best regards, Simon

is it possible to set geometries to readonly while attributes are editable?

QGIS has not this feature and, in my opinion, this is a marginal problem.

If you need to block geometry editing, and you want to allow only attribute editing, then you are most likely thinking about working in a group with other people. QGIS has so many problems with simultaneous editing of data (both geometries and attribute tables), that your request to block only this or only that doesn't matter, because it won't work anyway.

Conversely, if I have misunderstood and you want to work alone with a "lock" on geometries, then the solution of your request maybe exists, maybe not, but it doesn't matter anyway because it would be so cumbersome that you would do well to avoid it. You'd sooner learn what buttons not to press, or edit only from the attributes table, and the geometries will be safe.

The solution you're looking for is a relational database with various levels of privileges on the schema, but that's PostGIS, you don't have to try shortcuts through QGIS.

My two cents.

Hi
Francesco
