Hi Peter,

How did you copy and paste the layers?

In the QGIS GUI or in the text editor direclty in the XML file? If the latter, then this might be the reason for you troubles. Each layer in QGIS is identified with unique ids. If you copy/paste directly in the XML structure of a .qgs file, you are also duplicating these unique ids, which might explain your troubles.

You know, if all you want is to filter by year, you don't need a layer for each year, but you can have a single layer and create a rule for each year. Rules can be turned on and off just like layers.

Or you use the QGIS time manager to loop through the years.

About bug tracker:

What troubles do you have with the bug tracker? Why is it difficult for you to access? The correct address is https://issues.qgis.org/ - you need an OSGEO login or an OpenID. All information is at http://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/bugreporting.html#qgis-bugreporting

If you don't have an OSGEO account, you first have to ask for a Mantra. This is a measurment against spammers - because OSGEO mailing lists were abused by spammers. You first have to prove that you are really an indiviual person interested in OSGEO.

Please be a bit more precise why you find the QGIS bug tracker difficult to access.

Hope this helps,
Andreas

Hello,

Excuse me for posting to the developers list, as I am not a QGIS developer, but 
the bug tracker seems to be even more difficult to access.

I'd like to call your attention a problem present at least since 2.16, and 
which is still there in 2.18.10 :

I have an approximately 50 years period of data to be presented geographically, 
and each year's corresponding layer should be able to be turned on/off. I 
created the first year's layer, then tried to copy+paste it, and modify the 
year in each layer's rule. The problem is that the pasted layers don't seem to 
be independent. It looks like they are created by some kind of shallow copy, 
thus sharing some of their attributes and data fields, like visibility for 
example.

Please correct this, or give me some hint if I make something wrong. Thanks in 
advance,
Peter
