How To Add A Delete Button To SharePoint List Column

Introduction

In this blog, we will explore how to add a Delete button to the SharePoint list column as below.



Recently, I got a requirement to have an instant Delete button for each item in the SharePoint List View.

After many workarounds with several examples, I found the solution.

Implementation

So, simply follow the steps mentioned below.

Create a new calculated column.

Add the following formula. Just copy and paste the formula carefully into the calculated column.

Formula

=" <img src=""/_layouts/images/delitem.gif""cursor:pointer"""
& " onclick=""{event.stopPropagation();"
& "var clientContext=new SP.ClientContext.get_current();"
& "var list=clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getById(SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList());"
& "var TR=this;while(TR.tagName!='TR'){TR=TR.parentNode}"
& "var item=list.getItemById( TR.id.split(String.fromCharCode(44))[1] );"
& "clientContext.load(item);"
& "item.deleteObject();"
& "this.style.opacity=0;"
& "clientContext.executeQueryAsync("
& "(function(){"
& " this.style.opacity=0.5;"
& " this.style.backgroundColor="
& CHAR(39)& "lightcoral" &CHAR(39) &";"
& " true || AJAXRefreshView({currentCtx:ctx,csrAjaxRefresh:true},1);"
& "}).bind(TR));"
& "}"">"

Select the datatype as "Number".



Click OK.

Yeah! Finally, we got the Delete button added to the ListView.
