Regression in topological editing since QField 4.xx

Advanced Use & Customization
1

Hello,

We have been using QField for many years to update the location (X, Y, and Z) of points using Android tablets or phones.
We configured our project to maintain topological integrity; this ensures that when a point is moved in the field using the GPS cursor position, the point and any polylines snapped to it move together.

We originally created the project for QField version 3.7, but we found that this functionality stopped working after upgrading to the 4.x series : when clicking on a point feature, the icon for moving the geometry is no longer accessible.
Uninstalling QField 4.x and reverting to QField 3.7 restores this functionality.

Is there any additional configuration required—either in QField or in the QGIS project—to restore this feature?

Thank you.

@20-100LV , you can find the move feature action within the 3-dot menu. It has the same functionalities as the vertex editor (incl. snapping et al) but isn’t as intimidating to users.

Is that action not doing what it should for you, or have you not tried it yet?
