[Qgis-developer] Python init script

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi,

The dialog you get in the openForm method is a QgsAttributeForm.
As such it is possible to access the method changeAttribute( fieldName, 
value ).

However, this method - as well as the method you are currently using - 
do change the value of the field when you change something else and 
then save the form. And possibly even without changing something else.

Instead, I would use another approach if it's only for representation 
issues:
 * Use field type hidden and somehow insert another read-only field 
which shows the value you want to show.
 * Wait for the PR with the expression fields to be merged
 * Implement a custom widget that is able to discern between a rounded 
representation and an internal more precise value

Best,
Matthias
