That at least confirms it - the capabilities are then a bit
misleading, if the layer is not meant to be editable.<br>

Hi Janneke
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I'm not mistaking, the csv files are read-only in Qgis. So
I guess it's not a bug</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just tested here and all I can do is to add a virtual field
to the csv, but not actually write in the file.</div>

</div>
<div>Cheers</div>

<div> Dear all,<br>
<br>
Using Qgis 2.18.9 on Windows (OSGeo4W64) I'm trying to
import a .csv file and adding a text field. This is what I
do:<br>
1. add the .csv using add vector layer<br>
2. open attribute table then use the field calculator<br>
3. add text field, OK<br>
4. toggle editing, save edits when asked.<br>
I then get the following error messages:<br>
<br>
Could not commit changes to layer test_fieldcalculator1
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Errors: ERROR: 1 new attribute(s) not added</p>
<p> SUCCESS: 1 attribute value(s) changed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Provider errors:</p>
<p> OGR error creating field txt: </p>
<p> Feature 1 for attribute update not found.</p>
<p> OGR error syncing to disk: <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The c<span>apabilities of this layer show:<br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Add Features, Delete Features, Change Attribute
Values, Add Attributes, Delete Attributes, Rename
Attributes, Change Geometries, Curved Geometries</span></p>
<p><span>which makes me think it should be possible to add
attributes to this layer. Is this a bug or am I missing
something? If a bug, is it in OGR or QGIS?<br>
</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Thanks for any insight,</span></p>
<p><span>Janneke<br>
