[Qgis-user] Joining multiple points bounded by single polygon

[Jonathan Lefman]

Thank you for your response.  I have attempted to use the "Join by
Location" function.  Perhaps I am using it incorrectly.  If I attempt to
merge the properties of the polygon onto the point data, the operation
never completes and QGIS simply hangs.  Joining from the point data onto
the polygon data works, but I am not able to retain the information from
each point in the newly merged data.

I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on this process.
