Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply.
I failed to mention, that I’m using MS/SQL 2016 as my database, but I should be able to add geometry constraint in it. But then again, I want to tell QGIS that it’s a line layer, and I’m uncertain whether such proposed database constraints will do that, Postgres or not ? Is there not any way to tell/force QGIS to recognize/designate a WFS layer with no features to be of a certain topology (here: lines) ? Med venlig hilsen Lars I.

Your Layers, Ive no idea what database type you are using, but on PostgreSQL/PostGIS you can put in geometry Constraints using ALTER TABLE public."Table_Name" and one of the following, depending on what Geometry type you are looking at. ADD CONSTRAINT enforce_geotype_geom CHECK (geometrytype(geom) = 'MULTIPOLYGON'::text OR geom IS NULL); ADD CONSTRAINT enforce_geotype_geom CHECK (geometrytype(geom) = 'POLYGON'::text OR geom IS NULL); ADD CONSTRAINT enforce_geotype_geom CHECK (geometrytype(geom) = 'POINT'::text OR geom IS NULL); ADD CONSTRAINT enforce_geotype_geom CHECK (geometrytype(geom) = 'LINESTRING'::text OR geom IS NULL); I hope this helps Reagrds, Richard On 30/06/2017 10:39, Lars I.

I’m adapting the project from a previously made project by altering the data connections. The databases are identical in structure, so it works. The layers are all fetched using WFS-T. So far I only have data in the points and areas layers, none in the lines layer. The lines dataset (table) in the database is present, and published as WFS (Geoserver), and all metadata (afaik) is present (i.e. “geometry_columns”). I would like to be able to digitize lines into the line layer, but apparently QGIS cannot determine the topology, and (I suppose that’s also why) I can’t add any styles via the “properties” dialog or elsewhere. Is there any way, that I can tell QGIS that the layer should contain line features ? And how can I add suitable (line) styles to display the lines without any features present ?
