Disable Details form in Sharepoint List
I have a list embedded into a Sharepoint page that uses dynamic filtering. The list functions as a filter for a seperate list on the page and the details pop-up is unnecessary.
There are also columns on the main list that are hidden in the custom view, but are visible in the details pop-up. I would like to disable the details pop-up entirely, as everything the user needs to see is on the list.
Is there a way to do this? I have been searching online but I can't find a solution.

I haven't found a way to completely disable the Details pane in a modern SharePoint List. One workaround is to hide the columns from the Details panel:
Details pane → Edit columns → Uncheck the columns you don't want users to see.
The downside is that those columns will also be hidden when users create or edit items through the standard form.
A possible workaround is:
- Hide the columns as mentioned above, and these columns will be hidden from add/edit/view forms
To Manage these Hidden Columns:
- Create a personal or admin-only view that includes all columns that you have hidden.
- Use Edit in Grid View to manage those columns values.
- Administrators can update the hidden fields from that view, while regular users won't see them in the Details pane.
Another option is to use View Formatting (JSON) to display all required information directly in the list row and reduce the need for users to open the Details pane. You can also experiment with view-formatting samples that disable or override the default click experience, although SharePoint does not officially support completely disabling the Details pane in modern lists.
