Re: [Qgis-user] Update Null Geometry
Hi Hugh, Are you working with a CSV file? Or is it a shapefile?? Im not sure if this will work, but create a new point for a null geomety, you can then, using the Attribute table (in edit mode), Merge Features, by selecting the new geometry and the table row without geometry, then selecting Merge Features[cid:image001.png@01D80E18.C81AC070] The popup will then allow you to merge the two, you can select the row without geometry and select “Take attributes from selected feature” this should merge your new geometry with the attribute.

[Qgis-user] Update Null Geometry
Hi all, I have a points dataset with a few null geometries in it. Is there a tool that can update these in place? It seems that the point editing tool must add a new row instead of updating an existing row. The vertex editing tool seems unable to update a null geom since there's nothing to initially click on. Maybe I'm missing a tool or way of using the vertex editing tool? A less preferred workflow would be to create a separate file and manually add the points with the primary key as an attribute to later update on in postgres but it would be much cleaner to edit the table in place I think and I am curious if there is a solution since I'm not thinking anything up myself.
