[Qgis-user] Attribute Assistant

[Richard McDonnell]

Hi Ed,
In addition to what Matthias said, there is also Virtual Fields an example of them can be seen here

https://www.northrivergeographic.com/archives/qgis-2-6-virtual-fields

http://changelog.kartoza.com/en/qgis/section/expressions-23/print/149/

I believe this may be of some help. Note Virtual fields are not saved as part of the Layer, but as Part of the active project. You could though make them permanent when you’re finished, by creating a new field and using the virtual field as the source.
Hope this helps,

Richard.

Hi Ed,

I must acknowledge my complete lack of the ESRI tools, so I am left with the first hits I find in an internet search to guess what it does exactly.

My first guess is, that "default value" configuration is what you are looking for. There is support for QGIS expressions - which opens up a wide variety of possibilities.
