void QgsFeature::setFields	(	const QgsFields *	fields,

	)

Assign a field map with the feature to allow attribute access by attribute name.

Parameters:

fields	The attribute fields which this feature holds. When used from python, make sure a copy of the fields is held by python, as ownership stays there. I.e. Do not call feature.setFields( myDataProvider.fields() ) but instead call myFields = myDataProvider.fields() feature.setFields( myFields )
initAttributes	If true, attributes are initialized. Clears any data previously assigned. C++: Defaults to false Python: Defaults to true
