Adding coordinates to new points in an existing point layer

Question

I created a point layer (named PUNTI) a day ago. Today, I added a new point to the same layer but the attribute table returns me an x, y value equal to null:

Why?

How can I fix it?

These attributes will not automatically update. It would be best to add all of the points to the file and then use the calculate field tool for both the x and y fields.

How do I calculate the latitude and longitude of points using QGIS?

Returns no value because is an attribute table, where observations are recorded by feature. If you want to add x and y on attribute table, go to Field calculator and update those fields with $x for X and $y for Y.
