SharePoint Asked on December 13, 2020
When you click open an item in an external list, you have a url like this:
DispForm.aspx?ID=__ck8100530003000300030013008300g40000300&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fswsudc07%3A9200%2FLists%2FQuote%2FQuote%2520List%2Easpx&ContentTypeId=0x0
I want to know how the ID=__ck8100530003000300030013008300g40000300
is generated, so I can open an item from elsewhere.
I’m using SP 2013.
When you create an item in a list, SharePoint assigns it a unique ID that it keeps for its entire life. This ID is what you are seeing in the URL for DispForm.aspx
. If you need to be able to create URLs that link directly to a specific item, you will need to query the SharePoint list to get the ID, and then generate the URL yourself.
Two easy ways to query a SharePoint list's items programmatically are using the REST API or Web Services, namely Lists.GetListItems.
If you do not need it to be 100% programmatic, you might simply create a view that shows the list item's ID, export your list items to Excel, and then build links using Excel's HYPERLINK function.
