It’s not always convenient to use a default Title column that comes standard with a newly created SharePoint list. PowerApps form can take care of it and add some logic to it but it is still a Single line of text column. To make it even more complicated to remove, that Title column ties to a “view/edit an item” link.

If you still want to get rid of it and not lose any functionality you can use a simple JSON code below:

{
  "elmType": "a",
  "txtContent": "@currentField",
  "attributes": {
    "href": "='https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/dev/Lists/TestList/DispForm.aspx?ID='+[$ID]"
  },
  "style": {
    "padding": "10px",
    "font-weight": "bold"
  }
}

However, this method has quite a few downsides:

• when closing a form, it redirects to a Default view (it is possible to specify which view to go but that might be a lot of hard-coding depending on how many views you have);
• the link is hard-coded;
• does not seem to open “modern design” SharePoint forms in the same window.

So here is a JSON code that takes care of all the downside listed above, plus it has its own pro – it adds both View and Edit buttons while keeping the value of the column visible.

This is how it looks:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "style": {
    "flex-direction": "column",
    "padding": "5px 0px 5px 0px",
    "width": "100px"
  },
  "children": [
    {
      "elmType": "span",
      "txtContent": "@currentField",
      "style": {
        "font-weight": "bold",
        "color": "green"
      }
    },
    {
      "elmType": "div",
      "style": {
        "flex-direction": "row"
      },
      "children": [
        {
          "elmType": "button",
          "txtContent": "View",
          "customRowAction": {
            "action": "defaultClick"
          },
          "attributes": {
            "class": "ms-fontColor-neutralPrimary ms-fontColor-neutralDark--hover"
          },
          "style": {
            "cursor": "pointer",
            "border": "solid",
            "border-radius": "10%",
            "border-width": "1px",
            "box-shadow": "0 0 2px 0",
            "padding": "0px 0px 0px 2px",
            "margin": "1px",
            "width": "45px"
          }
        },
        {
          "elmType": "button",
          "txtContent": "Edit",
          "customRowAction": {
            "action": "editProps"
          },
          "attributes": {
            "class": "ms-fontColor-neutralPrimary ms-fontColor-neutralDark--hover"
          },
          "style": {
            "cursor": "pointer",
            "border": "solid",
            "border-radius": "10%",
            "border-width": "1px",
            "box-shadow": "0 0 2px 0",
            "padding": "0px 0px 0px 2px",
            "margin": "1px",
            "width": "45px"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
