So you can't particularly make the new item fly out of the right side of the screen, however you can give them modern UI form to fill out from a link.

Just go to the list where you want the form from. Click on New. then when it slides out from the right side Along the top you will see a copy link button. Click that and use that link, and it'll get you to the new modern form, just won't be along the side like it does from the list itself.

    Thanks Deleted That worked well, only problem I had was getting the user to go back to where they originated. So for example, I have general feedback link on all pages. Once a person leaves feedback they shouldn't go to the list, they should return/stay on the page they were on. 

     

    I can change the ?source value in the URL, just don't know how to get them back to the page they originated on.

      I believe the easiest way is to edit the URL of your general feedback links.


      Example URL of a "leave feedback button":

      https://yoursite.sharepoint.com/sites/MainSite/Lists/ListName/NewForm.aspx?Source=https%3a//yoursite.sharepoint.com/sites/MainSite&RootFolder=/sites/MainSite/Lists/ListName

       

      Locate the source string and swap out "MainSite" with where you want to redirect the users. This will of course have to be done seperately for each feedback link/button you have on your site.

        Is it possible to populate fields in the new item Form with predefined values? For example add the name of an application in the Title field?

    Hi, when I click on "New", there isnt a panel that slides out on the right, instead clicking new redirects me immediately to another page. Is there a way to get that panel on the right back?

      Noel Lee You would go into ...

       

      List Settings > Advanced Settings > Open Forms in Dialogs (Yes)

       

      That should help you out :)
