List content being shown instead of list item details
Hi.
In a SharePoint list, when I click the content of a LookUp field, instead of showing this item's details, SharePoint takes me to the full content of the list the item belongs to. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thank you in advance.

That behavior happens when a LookUp field is linking to the list itself, not to the item display form. By default, clicking the lookup value navigates to the source list. To fix this, you’ll need to:
Use JSON column formatting to make the lookup clickable in a way that opens the item details (dispform.aspx).
Or create a Power Apps custom form so that lookup clicks bring up item details in a modal rather than jumping away.
It’s expected behavior out-of-the-box, but formatting/customization can give you the behavior you want.
