Hello @jelleruben, Is highly recommend that you transition your data source from shapefile (.shp) to GeoPackage (.gpkg). GeoPackage is the official data source format supported by QField, and it has many benefits such as performance in synchronization and fewer limitations. After finishing the survey in QField, you need to export the layers to a known location and then import them to QGIS through QFieldSync. For more information, please refer to the official documentation https://docs.qfield.org/get-started/storage/#exporting-modified-projects-and-datasets-on-android |

@SeqLaz I have have see on YouTube you can it do with shp files to. But I have now tried with a GeoPackage. And sadly in this option, my added points won't save it too. I don't know what I'm doing wrong now. But these are the steps I do can you see (with screenshots) on https://jelleruben.nl/gis/qfield/ |

Hello,
I have a project with photolocations. I have made a Qfield package. and upload it to my Android phone.
I can open the package in Qfield, and I can add some new features to it. But how do I save it?
If I upload the packege back to de pc (or I reset the QField app (fresh install)). The added features isn't there. So the new added features aren't saved in the package or shape.
What I have done:
In Qgis (version 3.24.0) I go to the Project properties on the tab Qfield, follow by the tab Cable Export, I have set the photoloaction layer on "Offline editing" And the OSM layer stand on "Directly access data Source".
Then to make a package I go to [Packeage Project for Qfield], I choice a folder by "Export Directory".
By "Advanced", I select the data folder (where I have my shape and images files) And click on [Create]
Then I upload the files folder to my Android phone.
I can open the project and can add new features, but the features won't be save it in the shape.
I hope you understand my point, and hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Jelle Ruben
