[QGIS-Developer] Where are value maps / defaults stored on shape file layers?

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Patrick,

You are correct, this data is stored in the project file. If the project
hasn't been saved prior to the crash, this configuration is lost.

There is definitely a good reason to report an issue, because the app
crashed. Please provide as much information as possible that can help as
a lead why this happened (a backtrace of the crash being the most useful
one; and an exact description of at what point and after what actions it
happened being inevitable).

To avoid loss of work, there is an autosaver plugin
(https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/autoSaver/) that regularly saves the
project configuration. I'm not sure it's updated to QGIS 3 yet.

Regards

Matthias
