I'm trying to split a vector layer into new layers based on one field. The field is string type but when I run the tool, a message saying 'Creation of field fid failed (OGR error: Wrong field type for fid)' comes up. Before running I created a folder to store the output layers.

Any idea about what I have to change or what the right type field is, please?

The output should be many layers as unique values the field have.

  • Well, what is your field type for your FID field?, please check the properties of your layer in QGIS. As far as I am aware it should be an Integer64

  • FID field was string and I changed to Integer64 and finally it works. It would be useful to add a note on the tool, to specify the type of field that you need. Great, many thanks for your help! @MarcM
