Custom Form for Modern UI List item/Content Type

Question

Is there a way to customize the layout of the list items/content types in Modern UI ? Right now whenever we click to the title it will open the right panel which I couldn't find a way to customize it.

I could apply an SPFx Extension FieldCustomizer to let the custom page open whenever user click on to the Title field. But still if they using the right mouse context or the ribbon then the panel is still opened instead.

In Classic UI we could simply create custom forms for content type of the list using either SharePoint Designer or provision it with the link to the custom form.

Do you guys know any workaround for this issue ?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Unfortunately, at this moment there is no way to customize the standard list form in the modern UI. You could build something yourself but it would be running next to the list rather than on top of it.

Answer 2

This could be a workaround ? A SharePoint webpart that reads available list and create new / edit / forms

That's correct, there are no built-in customization options for SharePoint forms other than PowerApps, but it does not allow you to design responsive forms or share them with external users. So, I would recommend you to try a paid solution - Plumsail Forms which provides a lot of features such as responsive UI, form sets, related items and documents, rich JavaScript framework, and an ability to open forms either in a panel or in a separate window. All those and many other features for a reasonable price.
