[Qgis-user] Loss of data

[Francesco Pelullo]

Ciao Vladut,

I'm sorry, you have no chanches to recover deleted attributes.

You need to populate attributes again.

However, in my mind, this could be not a impossible job.

SUP (area) attribute is a geometry dependant value, you could calculate
areas again with a simple string in field calculator.

TIPO (Type) attribute is the real problem, but since I suppose you
extracted it from some public data source, maybe you could use field
calculator again for extract data in minutes.

Don't worry, these are common experiences that would drive you to a more
prudent jobs management.

Also hope you will adopt another file format (.gpkg is great) and leave
shapefiles.

Ciao
Francesco
