Feature: Virtual dataset groups for mesh layer

The ability to use "virtual" data set groups has been introduced for mesh layers. This replaces the "memory" dataset group used in 37389.

With the mesh calculator, users may choose to create those "virtual" dataset groups that will be added to the layer. Values are not stored in memory but each dataset is rather calculated when needed with the formula entered in the mesh calculator.

Those virtual dataset groups are saved within the project and be removed or saved to file for persistence.

Persistent and virtual dataset groups are distinguished in the source tab of the mesh layer properties by changes in the color of the background for each item, indicated as follows:

  • Persistent: yellow
  • Virtual: purple
