Hi All, Related to issue #3247 <http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3247> we experienced, that if we use ogr2ogr to append source data to a shapefile destination (by using the -append flag) and field name truncation is taking place, the corresponding values are not copied.
This is because when setting up the field index map (in ogr2ogr) the destination (truncated) field indexes are searched by the name of of the source fields (the long names). Since it's not always trivial to find the correct fields by names, how about exposing the field map itself as an option, something like: ogr2ogr -append -f "ESRI Shapefile" -fieldmap "0,1,2,3,4,5" destination.shp [source] Would that workaround be sufficient? Best regards, Tamas
