Is there a way to specify the layer (table) that comes up to
interactively edit attributes in d.what.vect? In my case I have 2
layers (ie tables) associated with a particular vector map. If I
display the vector map with d.vect 'map_name' then run d.what.vect -e,
the form that comes up only has the first layer (table) in it. I
would like to edit layer 2, by clicking on the polygon in the vector
map.
Is that possible?

Thanks,

Kirk

In the new GIS Manager, the display data button will now *display* data for
whatever layer you specify in the vector panel. Unfortunately, it still will
not let you *edit* the data.

Note: if there is some industrious person out there that really wants a data
editor and the undying gratitude of the GRASS user community, it should be
possible to write one using existing GRASS db.* commands and TclTk. There
are also some TclTk libraries--not currently required for GRASS--that
support table creation and management (tablelist) and SQLite.

If you have 2 layers they should appear in 2 attribute tabs.
I guess that you dont have categories of the second layer assigned to
features in the map.
v.category option=report?
