Answer 1

How did you create the edit form? VS or SPD? You can set the custom edit form to be the default edit form using both these tools.

Hi

easiest way

connectr to the site collection using  SHP Designer, and an admin user account

from left side select List and Libraries

Pick your list

In the right side, in the middle you should see all your forms associated to your list. The new custom form , isn't marked as "YEs" in Default field.

Select that form , and from the ribbon, click on "Set as default"

That's it. Enjoy

Hi ,

I understand that you have many new item forms and edit item forms .Are these forms used for different content types  ?

If so ,you can edit each content type to have its default new item form and edit item form :

1. Open the list in SharePoint .You will find content type at the left bottom of the page .
2. Click on a content type to edit the new ,edit and display form for the content type .
3. Set the Edit Form url like this :/Lists/listname/formname.aspx
4. Save the changes and test in browser .

Hi  Wendy,

Do  you mean that when click Edit on a display form for different items ,it will redirect to different edit forms ?

If so ,then you should add more information on the display form for the items .Add different buttons on the display form to link to different edit item page .Hide buttons based on these information in on the form using JQuery or JavaScript .

If you are talking about editing the redirect url for the Edit Item action in the Edit Control Block ,then you should use some custom code to add your actions to the Edit Control Block .

For more information ,please refer to this site:
