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.

  • 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?

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

  • The name might be different. You can check the available views. And then edit the one you are interested in.

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.
