Removing Title field from data entry menu from Lists

I've created a SharePoint list and added my columns that I need.

I don't need the Title column so I've made it non mandatory and removed it from the view.

 

However when I go to add data the Title field is still there?

How do I remove this? It's easy for me to ignore, however when I pass this task down I don't want someone getting confused.

 

Thank you

Louise

  • LouiseAspman I assume you mean it's still showing in the list form. To remove it click the New button in the top left, then in the form click the pen & paper icon at the top right, select Edit columns. The columns in your list will be shown and you can de-select the Title column then click Save. Then just click the x in the top right to close the panel. You can also re-order the columns and change the layout of the form.

      Hi, Rob, and thanks for your effort. When I try this solution, all the fields are grayed out and cannot be deselected.

       

      Can you think of a reason why?

       

      Kindly,

      Tom

        tpalongi if they are required columns in your list then you won't be able to de-select them from the form.
