Just to add:

If you use the QuickOSM plugin, you can choose between shapefile and 
Geojson output. The first truncates some OSM field names, while the 
second preserves them, but does not allow editing.


So if you have chosen geojson, you first need to export your data to 
another format, preferrably spatialite (which preserves field names too).


If you have raw openstreetmap data from the Overpass website, you can 
add it with "Add vector layer", which creates a temporary spatialite 
database. You have to save them to a permanent file too.

Hi Charlotte,

You can use the "dissolve" tool for merging features that have value(s) in common. In 
this case the field "name" contains that value.

Go:
Vector >> Geoprocessing tools >> Dissolve...
Remove the check mark at "Dissolve all (do not use field)"
Add the field "name" to unique ID fields list Run

This worked for me. Only drawback is that all roads without a name were merged 
together. If you mind that, you can select and remove them before running the 
dissolve algorithm.

Good luck,
Raymond

Hello, all,

I created a query for data from OpenStreetMap using

I got the steeets I need, no problem. But, I also got the
street names repeating over and over, because the streets are broken
into segments by changes, such as a bridge or a change in speed
limit, etc., etc.
I am looking for a way to solve this issue, such as editing
the data to remove the names from some of these segments. I have
opened the data in the "Attributes Table," but I can't seem to edit
it there (which would be handy). So, if QGIS does not support
editing a data file, is there some other way to do it?
Thanks!
