Hi Marco<br>Yes I think it is better that way. And how about adding a small suffix (eg. "_a" or "_j") instead of the name of the table? If the field's names are small enough it would still be possible to distinguish between "original" and "joined" fields.<br>

<div>Hi Filipe<br>
<br>
Yes, it is intended behaviour to better distinguish fields with
the same names. Maybe it would be better to add the table name
last, then it would get trimmed away?<br>

I tried to join a .csv and .dbf table (table1 with FieldA and
FieldB) with a shapefile with Field A and Field B. The joined
fields in the resulting shapefile were named table1FieldA and
table2FieldB. In previous versions QGIS simply added FieldA and
FieldB. Is this the new and intended behaviour?<br>
<br>
If yes, I dont think its a good idea, because if the table
field''s names are relatively long, they will be trimmed in the
final shapefiles eg. table1Fie.<br>
