I am working on custom lists inside 2 site collections on the same tenant. On the first site >> when i click on a list item >> a popup will open >>where i can do an item level edit without clicking on the "Edit all" link, as follow (where i can edit the title):-

while on the second site >> the item level seems disabled and to edit the item i need to click on the "Edit all" link:-

so can anyone advice why we get different behaviors on different sites? is this a feature that is not rolled out for all sites? or there is a setting which we can control this behavior?

Thanks

    Hi @john john ,

    I couldn't reproduce your issue per my test, I can edit the list item without clicking the "Edit all" button.

    My test result:

    You could also select the circle next to the item you want to edit, right click, and then select in the dropdown to edit items.
