Custom New/Edit/Display forms with Modern Experience Lists

Hey all, I found a way to be able to customize the new, edit, and display forms for a list/library while still keeping the modern experience. It is detailed in this post:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7410b226-9cba-4deb-aae7-54dd915529ae/custom-edit-form-for-document-library-in-o365-sharepoint-online?forum=sharepointdevelopmentprevious

 

Basically, you create a custom page with designer and tell the list to use your new page for the default. I'm looking at customizing this form, but I was wondering if this is too hacky, and may lead to problems down the road.

Previously, lists where I had to have a custom form, I just left them at the classic experience.

    Its Windows 8 all over again. Have been waiting 3 years for some ‘real’ progress. PowerApps panels are cute, but maybe I want a full page form, wheres my options? Any talent that may have existed at MS has clearly left the building...

    Hey buddy, 

    This is kind of delayed response- have you looked at the PowerApps to solve your problem?

      Currently PowerApps works with lists and not libraries. It is in the https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Creating-Apps/PowerApps-on-a-Document-Library/td-p/97981of the PowerApps team, but not sure of timeline.

  • Hey!

    Have a look at https://plumsail.com/forms/ - it allows you to design fully responsive forms for modern SharePoint pages. It supports all field types and provides an ability to design completely unique layouts for different devices: PCs, tablets, and Phones. Also you can handle form submissions with Microsoft Flow in more complex scenarios - updating items in multiple lists simultaneously, creating records in other services e.g. Salesforce, Dynamics 365, or MailChimp.
