Hi all! I'm looking to make an intake application/backlog system for my team, and one of our requirements is that the URLs need to be "friendly", or consistent in such a way where you can replace a single ID number in the URL to get the appropriate ticket. Sharepoint list items naturally already do this, however I want to shorten the URL to be more succint and not as long.
Ideally, the URL would be a "site/listname/ticketID" format, or at least something shorter.
But right now it's "https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/sharepointGroup/Lists/listName/DispForm.aspx?ID=65" for example
I found a now deleted article about the topic and how to do this, but I recovered it (https://web.archive.org/web/20140318151956/http://softlanding.ca/blog/Friendly-URLs-for-SharePoint-L...) and perused it a little bit. It looks overly complicated, is there an easier way to achieve a shorter/friendlier URL?

@jsm209 Hello,
I would recommend developing a custom solution to solve your UX desires. Creating an SPFx application that can fetch the data and display it with "friendly" URLs, adapts in the background, from there you could also improve the solution further to work as the intake application/backlog system as you desire.
This is of course not something easy, however it is very reliable and scalable.
Yours sincerely,

Creating a Power App (low code/no code) is also an alternative! :)
