this doesn't work anymore.

This should work with current master branch. Could you check?

Works for me,
thank you!

Hi,

Just tested this and the tool doesn't work anymore (at least for point geometries).
At first I thought I used the add ring tool but unfortunately I did the correct steps.

Tested with 2.10 -- Debian 8 and Windows.
Tested with master build under Debian 8.

The problem doesn't exist in the the latest 2.8 build.

Error:

PostGIS error while changing geometry values: ERROR: Geometry type (MultiPoint) does not match column type (Point).

I only have Point geometries in that table.

Thanks,
Tudor

I still get

Geometry type (MultiPoint) does not match column type (Point)

I understand that a solution would be to have the geometry as Multipart but for a case (https://github.com/qwat/qwat-data-model/issues/27) where I'm using a layer with valves (two point geometries, one to describe the valve position on the pipe and the other on top of the handle - ground level) MultiPoint doesn't seem right.

Can you please post (asap) a sample dataset and steps to reproduce this? I can't confirm in master...

As in this sample data set the data is in sqlite format, the error thrown now is:

Could not commit changes to layer valve_handle

Errors: ERROR: 1 geometries not changed.

  Provider errors:
      SQLite error: valve.geom_handle violates Geometry constraint [geom-type or SRID not allowed]
    SQL: UPDATE "valve" SET "geom_handle"=GeomFromWKB(?, 3844) WHERE ROWID = ?

Steps to recreate the bug
-------------------------

By opening the project you will see too QGIS layers that are pointing to the same valve table, but at different geometry columns (geom and geom_handle) both of type Point.
I created a feature in the valve (geom) layer, and I want to add a valve handle location (geom_handle).

In order to do this:
- select the valve_handle layer (based on geom_handle), open the attribute table and select the wanted feature (it's the only one in this case) then use the add part tool to create a point geometry in the geom_handle column.

The tool creates the geometry as it should but trying to save outputs the above error.

This workflow worked until QGIS 2.10, and is present on current Master.

Thanks Nyall for looking into it,
All the best

Nyall, you can ping me if you have troubles. I can reproduce it locally.
