Lookup columns
Hi All,
I use columns that lookup items from other lists. The issue I am running into is that when you click on a lookup item, it is a hyperlink back to the iem in the lookup list not the item you want to open and edit. Is there a way to disable the link back to the lookup?
TIA,
Joe
Joe...a quick solution would be to go to the settings of the list, Edit the column and the "Add a column to show each of these additional fields" grouping, select the option that is NOT linked to item. This will remove the hyperlink.
A more complicated approach would be to use JSON to format the column in the view.

Hi Steve,
One quick question, is there a way to remove the <lookup list>.Column name from the column header?
I went to my list added the non linked column as you suggested, then replaced the linked column with the non-linked in my views. Now the column name is merchantLookup.MerchName not just MerchName.
It's not a big deal, since the columns don't auto expand enough for people to notice it :)
but it would be nice..
Thanks again,
Joe

Hi Joe...this would require some JSON formatting of the column header. Not hard but not out of the box either.
Thank you so much!!!
