Change linked to item with edit menu to different column

Normally a SharePoint list links to an item using the “Title” field. But in some cases you want to hide Title Column and and add linked to item link to another column.

Now to link the Item to a specific column/field, you need to open the list in SharePoint designer and look for the <viewfields> tags.
And then add LinkToItem="TRUE" to whichever column you want the link.

 <ViewFields>  
   <FieldRef Name="field1"/><br/>  
   <FieldRef Name="field2"/><br/>  
   <FieldRef Name="field3" LinkToItem="TRUE"/><br/>  
   <FieldRef Name="field4"/><br/>  
   <FieldRef Name="field5"/><br/>  
 </ViewFields>  

Save and you are done.!!!!!!

Cannot perform this operation. The file is no longer checked out or has been deleted - SharePoint Designer 2013

While working in SharePoint Designer 2013, sometime it demanded to check out files that are not checked in, refused to check in other files. And it shows below error message:

Cannot perform this operation. The file is no longer checked out or has been deleted

After some search on google, I found this post, which helped a lot.

We need to clear the cache of sharepoint designer. The cache is composed of these 2 folders:
  • %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
Just delete their contents and you are done.
