Hi Cory,
There is nothing wrong with your feature or bug request (whatever it is
;-) ) - there is certainly value for it!
But there is a point in the temporal controller in presentation-only
mode. It covers probably >90% of the use cases - as most many users
don't edit temporal data, but analyze and present it.
With the same argument you could say - what is the point of having point
cloud data in QGIS if you can't edit the point cloud data? Or many other
new features we have in QGIS - that have a value even in cases where a
new functionality isn't fully implemented in all details.

Honestly, whether this is a bug or a feature request is debatable, I
personally think that it is a bug because a user would not expect that
a basic software action like editing gets broken when the temporal
controller is active: we should either disable editing in that case or
make editing work with the controller.
That was my thought, too. Also, what is the point of having a
presentation-only tool for temporal data in QGIS if you cannot
practically or effectively edit that temporal data in QGIS as well?

Anyway, I just wanted to underline that if this is to be considered a
feature request it wouldn't be eligible for a grant (that explicitly
forbids new features).
Kind regards.

Hi Cory,
Yes - I would also think that this is not a bug, but a feature request.
It was never claimed that the temporal controller works fine in
conjunction with editing tools. The temporal controller was designed as
a presentation tool and not for editing.
To improve the situation you would have to consult with one of the core
contributor companies listed at
https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/commercial_support.html
You could write a specification, ask one of the core contributor
companies for a quote and finance it yourself. Or you could try to
write a QEP (QGIS enhancement proposal) and submit it as a QGIS grant
project. Incidentally, Anita just issued the "Call for participation
[1]" for the 2022 QGIS grants. If you could find a company that is
interested in working on this, and team up with them to write a QEP, it
could be submitted as a QGIS grant. The deadline for the QGIS grants is
February 13.
This would definitely be more work than what could be covered by
smaller donations.
Hope this helps,
Andreas

I filed a number of bugs a year ago about various digitising tools that
no longer worked correctly as a result of the newly implemented Dynamic
Temporal Controller. Things like the vertex tool and the snapping tool
that continue to react to invisible features outside of temporal scope
making it difficult, if not impossible to use those tools with temporal
data.
The bugs were, unfortunately, reclassified as feature requests, and
have not been fixed since. I'd like to see them fixed because they
cause me much difficulty and frustration when I am using QGIS.

Hi Cory,
We don't offer targeted donations where you can influence a specific
bug fix. If you need that - please contact one of the QGIS commercial
support providers - see
https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/commercial_support.html
Primarily one of the "core contributors".
What specific issue do you want to see fixed?

Hello,
Whom do I contact to make sure that a donation goes for development
work on a specific bug or feature? The Donations doesn;t list any
contacts except for tax deductions.
