<p>Hi Paddy,</p>
<p>you have to understand the concept, that attributes of a feature
have noting to do with its geometry. <br>
</p>
<p>The attributes table can hold any kind of information, in case of
point layer of course its coordinates as well, but those values
will not change when you change the geometry nor vice versa They
are simply some numbers filled into that table.</p>
<p>So you could e.g. drag the wrong positioned points to their
correct locations (node tool) and then fill in the coordinates via
the field calculator ($y and $x, see the documentation), but this
is more or less only "cosmetic" as this information is in most
cases not really helpfull.</p>
<p>In case of towns, there is actually no such thing as a "correct"
coordinate of a representing point, or it is at least
pseudo-correct.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Bernd<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi
I am having a problem with changing co-ordinate in my attribute table.
I am using QGIS 3.18 on WIN 97,so far without any issues.
It is a point layer with towns and their co-ordinates. Three of these
data points had empty co-ordinate records and they displayed way out of
position. This was already a mystery as I couldn't figure out how it could
display without these. I then filled in the correct co-ordinates but the
points are still displaying incorrectly.
Then I noticed that on the "identify feature" panel there is a subunit
called (Derived) and it says (clicked coordinate X and Y). How do I edit
this or get rid of this?
Many thanks,
Paddy
