I am new to Quantum and I am digitizing polygon layers using the editing features. I would like to apply simple queries ('date > 2012/08/01'), however while the query is active I cannot edit the layer. Is this possible?

No, it's not possible to enable editing on filtered layers.

You can try using a rule-based renderer instead of a filter. Set the rule so that only your features of interest are displayed. Then enable editing.

Thank you for help, it did exactly what I needed it to. Rule-based rendering is a pretty useful feature. – Brandon G Aug 30 '12 at 17:20
