SharePoint 2010: Edit a List Item by Clicking on the Title
I received a request from someone to modify a list view in such a manner that if some click on the title of the item it should take him to the edit page instead of display page in SharePoint 2010.
I have already managed to do this in SharePoint 2007 and have written an article on it here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/8547.how-to-edit-a-list-item-by-clicking-on-its-title-in-sharepoint-2007.aspx .
After some work with SharePoint designer 2010 I was able to mange it in few steps here as well . Here are the steps needs to be followed in this case:
- Open the site in SharePoint designer.
- Go to All Files.
- Navigate down to the list where you want to do the modification.
- Then open the view in SharePoint designer by double clicking on it in my case it was allitems.aspx.(Check it out first)
- Now right click on the title part as shown in the screenshot below and select format hyperlink to Edit Form.
