Adding Fields

The "Add Field" panel is launched by pressing the "Add Field" button on the Attribute Editor. This panel allows the user to select the data type and to set the default value of the new attribute field to be added to the current layer.

Selecting the "Accept" button creates the new field and adds it to the current layer. The new field is named "Field" by default, but can be changed provided that it does not conflict with any existing names. It is important to select the correct "Data Type". Unlike the other values, this setting cannot be changed after the field has been created.

If there are existing shapes in the layer when this new attribute field is added, those shapes automatically inherit the new field with the default value. Any new shapes created in the layer will also have this new field with the default value.

Selecting the "Cancel" button cancels the operation and closes the "Add New Field" panel.
