I am looking to update row values within specific fields of a polygon geopackage using an if statement--similar to how Esri users would use an Update Cursor . For example, say there is a text field called campsite with values ranging from 1W - 10W. I would like to change the value 10W to 20.
There is an example provided by @gene which seems to write a single value for each row in the attributes.
for feature in fiona.open(a shapefile): # = for row in cursor:
feature['properties']['Elevation']= 15 # = row[1] = 15
However, when I implement the solution using a geopackage the attributes do not change. Here is my attempt:
import fiona
gpkg = r'/path/to/campsites.gpkg'
for feature in fiona.open(gpkg): # = for row in cursor:
if feature['properties']['Campsite'] == '10W':
feature['properties']['Campsite'] = '20'
How can I update specific row values within a polygon geopackage using if/else control flow?
