Hello

 

Just detected this possible bug when importing Attribute Names / Values using Attribute Manager. The Names are pre-sorted and the "Sorted" option unticked as shown below.

 

imageOnce the dataset has been imported (Select * for Input/Output/Values) the values are set as shown below. Was I not meant to see the actual values or have I misunderstood this part? Looks like the Attribute Names have been set as values. If that's intended then what could be a potential use case?

Original Attribute Names order / Table structure as defined in the Postgis Db

Thanks

Hello @sameer​, thanks for posting! I was able to reproduce the sort issue on import from dataset in the AttributeManager, I will file a ticket with our development team to have this addressed!

 

I think to use or access attribute values on import, you'll need to change the selection 'attribute values' in the import wizard:

ImportFromDataset_AttrManager
