With a bug we discovered some times ago, you cannot select the *parent* geometry from the *child* form geometry, both layers are linked with a 1:N relation: ![QGIS Bug](https://www.faunalia.eu/user/pages/08.blog/2019-05-23_a_bug_story/bug.gif) Immagine a project in which you have 20.000 *child* lines and 2.500 *parent*lines. You have to manually associate the child to a parent because there are not fixed spatial criteria: you have to choose the parent layer manually on the map. How would you do if the bug is there? Well you have to open 2 attributes table click on the child feature, select the parent feature from the other opened attribute table and manually copy/paste the code you are looking for. AKA: hours of work where the chances of making big mistakes are massive. After we [reported the bug](https://issues.qgis.org/issues/22071) it has been quickly fixed (thanks Alessandro) in the following [PR](https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/10047). Results? Judge by yourself: ![QGIS Bug Solved](https://www.faunalia.eu/user/pages/08.blog/2019-05-23_a_bug_story/bug_fixed.gif) What does it mean? We are **really** interested in the development of QGIS: we are not just users, we report bugs and work together with the QGIS team. Every day.
