[Qgis-user] Auto-fill id in attribute table when creating a feature

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Simon, 

It is a bit data provider dependent. For many data providers (e.g.
Postgis, SpatiaLite, Geopackage) you just don't fill in this value (or
better set the edit widget to "read only") - provided that the database
has a sequence defined for the primary key column. The values are filled
in when saving the data. In 2.16 there is a new mode for PostgreSQL to
immediately get the id value (experimental). 

What data format are you using? 

Greetings, 

Andreas
