Create a second "New item" Button in a sharepoint list

Question

Hello,
how can I add a second button with the function to create a new (but different) list item? However, this should be in one and the same list.

Thank you!

Hi @Gollnast, Viktoria ,

According to my research and testing, unfortunately, we cannot add the second button with the function to create a new list item. We only can create button inside the List using "Hyperlink or Picture" column ,or hide the “New” button in the list.

I suggest you can create a feedback on this issue. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future. Thanks for your understanding.

You can follow these steps to create button inside the List using "Hyperlink or Picture" column:

1.Go to "List settings" ->> Click on "Create Column"
2.Select "Hyperlink or Picture" from column type.

3.Go to the "Column Formatting" . Then copy the below code inside "Column Formatting" :

{  
    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",  
    "elmType": "a",  
    "txtContent": "Edit",  
    "attributes": {  
        "href": "='https://example.sharepoint.com/Lists/Button Demo/editform.aspx?ID=' + [$ID]"  
    },  
    "style": {  
        "padding": "0px 25px",  
        "cursor": "pointer",  
        "border": "none",  
        "color": "white",  
        "font-weight": "550",  
        "background-color": "#0078d4",  
        "text-decoration": "none",  
        "font-size": "14px",  
        "text-align": "center",
