[Qgis-user] Feature labels using joined data

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

Is must block because the join file needs to be modified by the new label positions. Like you say, I imagine, it's a read only connection but I am not sure.  I would try joining with a dbf file but you will probably have the same results.  You could join the files then save them but that would give you multiple versions.  Perhaps trying a database would solve the problem.

Perhaps the idea would be to have multiples x and y labels columns for different projects or else to export the label column as .csv that you could join later...

Good luck
