How can I change the column in a SharePoint list that has the link to the item and the link to the item with edit menu

Ex: I currently have "Area" that is (linked to item with edit menu), but I want to delete that column and make ID linked to item with edit menu.

enter image description here

  • I know it is an old thread, but I think this change won't be populated if you create a new site based on the site with the change to the list? – user40723 Mar 21 '15 at 17:41

You can do this using SharePoint Designer.

  1. Open the site
  2. Open the list
  3. Edit "AllItems.aspx" or which view you want to modify
  4. Look for <ViewFields>

  5. Add the property linkToItem="TRUE" Note for SharePoint 2010 it is LinkToItem Example

  • Hi I am in sharepoint designer, and I don't see the Allitems.aspx file – Matt Ludwig Jan 21 '15 at 16:51
  • The name might be different. You can check the available views. And then edit the one you are interested in. – Amal Hashim Jan 21 '15 at 16:51

Open AllItems.aspx (or whatever your view page is) page in sharepoint designer. Now add ListItemMenu="TRUE" in FieldRef tag of your field where you want to add view and edit menu.
