Generating random points with overlapping polygons in QGIS

Question

The "Random points inside polygons" tool in QGIS works great to generate a fixed number or density of points within polygons; however, because QGIS does not link the polygon ID to the points, when those polygons overlap, there is no way to distinguish among the points. If you are generating a fixed number of points per polygon, here is a hack that works. Unfortunately, if you are generating a density of points in polygons with different areas, this approach does not work as easily. I will simply generate my random points in R from now on, but this seems like a straight forward (and commonly needed) feature. Is there a tool that I am missing?

(I am using QGIS 3.14.16-Pi on Debian Linux and Windows 10)

• Bera: You want to be able to tell which point belong to which polygon? There's the option 'INCLUDE_POLYGON_ATTRIBUTES':True you are saying that this does not work for overlapping polygons?
• midden: Where is that option? In the GUI tool, there is no field in which to specify any options. Is there a way to get into the command-line version of this?
• Bera: Checkbox: imgur.com/a/sB2Eno9
• midden: That is not present on my version of QGIS (tool found in "Vector creation/Random points inside polygons". I have edited the original post to include the tool window. Are you using a plugin tool?
• Bera: No plugin. You are using the wrong tool. It's called Random points in polygons
