<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Hi Simon,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">It is a bit data provider dependent. For many data providers (e.g. Postgis, SpatiaLite, Geopackage) you just don't fill in this value (or better set the edit widget to "read only") - provided
that the database has a sequence defined for the primary key column. The values are filled in when saving the data. In 2.16 there is a new mode for PostgreSQL to immediately get the id value (experimental).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">What data format are you using?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Hi, I am new to QGIS, coming from ARCGiS. I was wondering when creating a new feature in a shape file, QGIS asks to fill in the id in the attribute table for every feature created. Is there
anyway to have this done automatically like ARCGiS does?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
