[Qgis-user] Adding virtual X & Y columns to a QGIS attribute form

[Gordon Wakelin-King]

I suggest you will need to edit your form to include the new fields. The generic form view of the attribute table expands itself to include newly created fields, so it is possible, but I think that trick will be in QT Designer not is QGIS.

Subject: [Qgis-user] Adding virtual X & Y columns to a QGIS attribute form

Hi,

I have created an attribute form for a QGIS layer.

I want to add two fields to the form: the X & Y values of a point geometry column.

I can't find any way to do this - if I don't use the form, it is easy to add the virtual columns as expressions ($x & $y) in the table view, but I want these in the form view, not the table view.


Any suggestions appreciated.
