JSON custom for double click when open the file

Question

How to use JSON to force users have to double click when they want to open the file in SharePoint Site instead of single click by default

Answer 1

Hi @Harris

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on my testing, you just need to render the file name as plain text (by default, it is displayed as a link that you can single click and open the file).

With this way, when the user single click, it will just select the file instead of opening it.

If you double click, the file will open.

Please put this JSON code into your file name column:

{
  "$schema": "
  "elmType": "span",
  "txtContent": "[$FileLeafRef]",
  "style": {
    "fontWeight": "600",
    "color": "#333"
  }
}

I hope this helps.
