CREATED FOR:

Some objects that you display in a view link to the Details page of the object, by default. For example, the column that displays the Name of a project is a link to the project; the column that displays the Name of a user is a link to the user鈥檚 profile page.

You can remove this link using text mode in columns that display in all views.

  5. Remove the text you find in the Edit Text Mode box, and replace it with the following code:

    code language-none 
    displayname=Task Name
linkedname=direct
namekey=name
querysort=name
textmode=true
valueexpression={name}
valueformat=Compound
    note tip
    TIP
    You can use similar code for other objects by doing adjusting the following:

    • Replace the valuefield line of the code with valueexpression and keep the same name included in curly brackets after the equal sign.

    • Eliminate all the lines that start with link. from the original text of the column. For example, eliminate all the following lines:

      code language-none 
      

link.linkproperty.0.name=ID

link.linkproperty.0.valuefield=ID

link.linkproperty.0.valueformat=string

link.lookup=link.view

link.value=val(objCode)

  6. Click Done, then Save View.
