I'm using QGIS 2.18.10, and I have an ArcGIS server feature layer pulled up that I would like to save locally to my hard drive for editing purposes.

The remote layer with which I am working is the polygon layer available at https://mapservices.nps.gov/arcgis/rest/services/cultural_resources/nrhp_locations/MapServer.

When I right click on the layer in the Layers Panel in QGIS and try to save it as a shapefile, I get an error stating the following:

"Export to vector file failed. Error: Feature write errors: Invalid variant type for field Shape_Area[34]: received QByteArray with type......"

Export to vector file failed. Error: Feature write errors: Invalid variant type for field Shape_Area[34]: received QByteArray with type......

The Shape_Area field in the source layer is formatted as double. I'm having trouble understanding what's causing this issue. If there's

Can anyone who could shed some light on this, I'd really appreciate it. If necessary, I'd be happy to provide more details.?
