 Select Empty Fields

&lt;p>The key here is to have an &lt;strong>empty&lt;/strong> space between the quote marks&lt;/p>

&lt;p>Make a new, empty field with the type you want (string/text), and using the &amp;lsquo;Apply Expression&amp;rsquo; option from the MAP Attributes panel menu, this will merge &amp;lsquo;column1&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;column 2&amp;rsquo; with a space in between and save it as the value in the newly created column.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>MAPublisher Attributes</title><link>http://localhost:1313/docs/gniz-bezier/mp-attribs/</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://localhost:1313/docs/gniz-bezier/mp-attribs/</guid><description>&lt;hr>

&lt;p>From time to time I need to edit attributes in the MAPublisher MAP Attributes table. Typically this is for formatting the names of features before generating labels. This example is working with the &lt;a href="https://www.protectedplanet.net/en">WPDA&lt;/a> dataset and labeling a subset of the polygons. In this case I wanted to label all of the National Parks. Some of the values in the NAME field had “National Park” somewhere in the name, sometimes at the beginning, sometimes at the end.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
