Hi,

it would be nice to have the possibility to add a new column to a (dbf) attribute table.

Thanks,

Markus

Changed priority since major: does not work as expected should be used for features that are implemented but broken. We still need to implement this feature, though I agree its an important one to have.

this should probably added to the OGR shape driver. QGIS would automatically pick it up, once the OGR would support it.

The related GRASS C code is here:

Anyway, this is now possible (and easy) with a python plugin. Maybe the ticked can be closed?

Which plugin is that? Does it add a new button to the table manager?

Sorry, I was wrong. It's Table Manager from Borys Jurgiel repo

FYI there's patch to OGR to do this: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2672

In gdal/ogr 1.6 is possible to add new attributes and the functionality is already implemented in qgis through the properties dialog. Should this ticket be closed?
