Thanks, Stéphane.
That at least confirms it - the capabilities are then a bit misleading, if the layer is not meant to be editable.

Hi Janneke

If I'm not mistaking, the csv files are read-only in Qgis. So I guess it's not a bug

I just tested here and all I can do is to add a virtual field to the csv, but not actually write in the file.

Cheers

Stéphane

    Dear all,

    Using Qgis 2.18.9 on Windows (OSGeo4W64) I'm trying to import a
    .csv file and adding a text field. This is what I do:
    1. add the .csv using add vector layer
    2. open attribute table then use the field calculator
    3. add text field, OK
    4. toggle editing, save edits when asked.
    I then get the following error messages:

    Could not commit changes to layer test_fieldcalculator1


    Errors: ERROR: 1 new attribute(s) not added

    SUCCESS: 1 attribute value(s) changed.

    Provider errors:

    OGR error creating field txt:

    Feature 1 for attribute update not found.

    OGR error syncing to disk:


    The capabilities of this layer show:

    Add Features, Delete Features, Change Attribute Values, Add
    Attributes, Delete Attributes, Rename Attributes, Change
    Geometries, Curved Geometries

    which makes me think it should be possible to add attributes to
    this layer. Is this a bug or am I missing something? If a bug, is
    it in OGR or QGIS?


    Thanks for any insight,

    Janneke
