[Qgis-developer] Adding a feature to a layer with joined fields

[Denis Rouzaud]

Hi Minoru,

Then I can't wait for your patches to be integrated!
Is there any reason why it's not accepted yet???

Also, it would be really nice to see joined fields automatically updated 
while changing the target field...

Cheers,

Denis
