@OBVYamaska , if you haven't done so, please read this blog post on storage access using Android >= 10 (https://www.opengis.ch/2022/03/05/qfield-users-sit-down-we-need-to-talk-about-storage-access-on-android%ef%bf%bc/). TLDR: Since November 2021, Google has enforced new storage access limitations for apps published on its Play store which prohibits direct storage access on Android 11 and above forcing QField to adapt and rely on importing projects and datasets to access those. If you have time, read the whole thing, it's informative :) we are aiming at further improving the new storage access paradigm in QField 2.1. Consider your [ YES / NO ] glitch fixed already :) With regards to folder import, it is the case that the import is "static" (i.e. it copies a given folder's content once). You do not need to remove an imported folder to overwrite its content by going through the same import action. The re-import will overwrite content in the folder, so be aware of that to avoid field data entry losses. |
