<p>Not having digitized in a while, I now stumbled upon a feature which I neither understand/get to work nor understand/find documentation.</p>
<p>When right-clicking on a feature in the attribute table, there is now a context menu with two entries:</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">"Duplicate feature" and "Duplicate feature and Digitize"
When using the first, a new entry is created in the attribute table, but zooming to the feature it sais:
<span style=" color:#dc7d00;">WARNING </span>Zoom to feature id failed : Feature does not have a geometry</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">I guess that "Duplicate feature and Digitize" is handy for digitizing a new object with the same attributes as the original one where the action started.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">But what the heck is the purpose of "Duplicate", when it only produces an entry in the attribute table, but no geometry?</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">Actually I could use a reliable tool to copy a set of constructed rectangels which I need in multiple places. "Duplicate feature " seems not to be meant for that, right?</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
