qgis - Is it possible to increase Output Field Name length beyond 10 characters?


When creating a new Column, the default value for the length of the name is 10. Using the Field Calculator via the Model Builder, I want to include the names of regional areas into the columns which has more than 10 characters.



Can the length of the Output Field Name be increased?



Answer



If the output file is a shapefile, it is not possible due to the restrictions of the shapefile definition:

Attribute names can only be up to 10 characters long
