Simple list formatting with attachment

Question

I have a list that contains 2 fields:
* Title
* Date
and an attachment

The list is formatted like this:

--
Title Date Attachment

O someting 12/12/2012 x

O = Selector
x is the paperclip with a link to the file

what I really want is no item selector and no headline for the attachment

--
Title Date
x someting 12/12/2012

--
Why is that so impossible?

@Wassini

1. It’s by design that you cannot remove the item selector in the list.
2. For attachment column, by default, it shows as a paperclip without file link as following picture shows. Whether you make any custom modification for the attachment column?

Answer 3

But I don't see the reason for the checkbox. It is just useless and takes up space!

I would also like to remove the space between the columns to be able to see the attachment column without scrolling.

AND I would like to have the title for the attachment "Vedhæftede filer" removed as the paperclip is self- explaining.

I can't see the reason for adding the option to format the list via JSON, if you can't do someting this simple!

Answer 4

By the way: It IS possible to hide the selector, but ONLY when using the rowFormatter.

This is NOT working:
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json",
"hideSelection": true,
}

This WILL remove the selector.
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json",
"hideSelection": true,
"rowFormatter": {
...
}
}

but using the rowFormatter will:

1. Disable the option to add file attachments column
2. Detaches the columns from the column title so resizing will no longer work
