On my projects list I have a field called Project Title, this field has nothing to do with the Title from the list items, in fact I dont even use it, so if yo create a view where you show the Project Title, there wont be a link to the display form. You can however show the ribbon, select the item and click on Edit Item or on View Item, that is like 2 or 3 more clicks right?
This JS Link will fix it for us:
(function () {
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it's output render
var projectTeamContext = {};
projectTeamContext.Templates = {};
projectTeamContext.Templates.Fields = {
// Apply the new rendering for Body field on list view
"Project_x0020_Title": { "View": ProjectTitleTemplate}
};
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(projectTeamContext);
})();
function ProjectTitleTemplate(ctx){
var projectTitleValue = ctx.CurrentItem[ctx.CurrentFieldSchema.Name];
var displayUrl = ctx.displayFormUrl + "&ID=" + ctx.CurrentItem.ID;
return "<a href='" + displayUrl + "'>" + ctx.CurrentItem.Project_x0020_Title + "</a>";
}
