Open SharePoint List Items in Edit Mode by Default
Requirement: Open SharePoint Task list items in Edit form directly instead of “Display form”.
Solution:
- Go to your SharePoint task list, click on Site settings gear, Choose “Edit page”
- Add a script editor and place the below code:
Here is the jQuery to launch list items in Edit mode:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
//Change display form links to edit form links
$('.ms-vb a[href*="listform.aspx"]').each(function(){
var url = $(this).attr('href');
url = url.replace("PageType=4", "PageType=6");
$(this).attr('href', url);
});
});
</script>
Now, on clicking any task item link, you’ll be taken into Edit form directly.
Have you been able to get this to work on SharePoint Online (aka SharePoint 365)? I need it to work there.
Thanks.
Confirmed it works in SharePoint Online Classic experience!
