<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#404040"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#404040">I just installed QGIS 2.18.10 and have found that I am receiving an error message when trying to copy features from a PostGIS layer into a shapefile. The error is:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#404040"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#404040">‘</span>Errors: ERROR: 1 feature(s) not added - geometry type is not compatible with the current layer.’<span style="color:#404040"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#404040">My shapefile geometry type is polygon and the PostGIS layer is a multi-polygon, but in previous versions I was able to copy features fine. Does this mean this is no longer possible? When creating a new shapefile
in QGIS there isn’t the option to specify whether the polygon is a multipolygon or not, so not too sure how I would be able to do this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
