Editing of imported shapes fails

Hi, I created a shape file using ArcGIS on my PC with several columns. Some of them filled, some of the columns empty. I now want to use Locus GIS on my smartphone (android 16) to fill in empty values of this shape. Thus, I imported the shape into Locus from the cloud. Here, I can open and see the features and edit the shape. However, when I want to fill in a value into an empty field, I get the warning messages that I have to fill all empty attributes (even though, they are explicitly defined as not obligatory in the settings - see an example attached). Even when I fill all empty fields, the warnings disappear, however, I cannot safe the editing. Same, when I fill all empty fields e.g. with a dummy value using ArcGIS and import it again, Locus refuses to safe. Does anyone know a possible solution for this issue? I'd be thankful for any advice. Best regards, Toni

Hi,

we found a similar issue in the past that was related to the geometry type definition. Is there a chance that you imported the same SHP twice? For example, first as a point layer and later as a line layer?

Anyway, please wait for the new version 1.29.0, which is currently in the release process, and try importing the SHP again in the new version. It may help

Hi Petr, thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, I only important one shape - which didn't work (other shapes with other names as well). So, I will wait - hopefully, the update will solve the problem. Best, Toni

Hi,

version 1.29.0 has already been released. Please check Google Play to see if an update for Locus GIS is available on your device.

Regards Petr

You're right, I already had the newest version. I now solved the problem. It seemed, while installing, Locus found and connected older files on my phone where it could not access the path (outside of android/data). But it's required to have the files in android/data/... However, for me it was not possible to access android/data on the phone because of android regulations. So, I could not guide Locus to the correct path. I now deinstalled Locus, deleted all folders related with Locus, reinstalled Locus and then it worked, as Locus automatically set up a folder in android/data, which was not the case (at least it could not connect) when there are similar folders outside this path, already. Thanks for your help, anyways. Best, Toni
