I'm a student in the end of class internship and just found out about QField. I'm familiar with GIS so I didn't think I'd struggle so hard. I want to use QField for butterfly conservation, and will use QField to work with volunteers who will help with the sampling of this butterfly.

I wanted to try it out and test how it works, so I followed this link found on qgis.org : https://livelihoods-and-landscapes.com/qgis_qfield_tutorials/training_overview.html

I followed it strictly as it seems to provide a good overview. But as I opened my project in QField, I was able to put points on the map, but unable to fill out the form as it is plain blank.

Blank attribute form appearing on Qfield when I input data

Here's the attribute form of my project on Qgis 3.22. I have followed the guide linked in the beginning of this post so the other entries have the same options. Attribute Form on Qgis 3.22

Here's the Data sources of my project, Data sources of my project

I've tried with different setting, differents types of layer (polygon, points, line...) The points appears on the project but I cannot fill the form, so the points are kind of useless

I am still new to the GIS world. I have not found this issue elsewhere so I don't know if it may be some mistake of my side.

  • What does the widget look like for the field (Layer Properties - Attributes Form)?

  • Should work. The layer isnt "Read only" under Project Properties - Data sources right?

I seem to have found an answer. I always tried to use the "Package for Qfield option" in the Qfield Extension but it never worked. I tried to directly import my project in .qgs and the Geopackage associated by drag and drop unto my device and it worked, I could fill the attribute form. To synchronize back into Qgis, I simply did it in a reverse order. I dragged the .qgs and the geopackage from my device to qgis and it synchronized too. I still don't know what the issue is but I managed to bypass it by not using the extension.
