How to change the primary display attribute from "name" to another field in EspoCRM?

03-25-2025, 01:18 PM

Hello for each entity, the 'name' attribute is automatically used and displayed in titles... (as shown in the image). How can I configure the system to display a different attribute (e.g., title, code, or another custom field) instead of name as the primary label for the entity? Thank you

It will be possible from v9.1. https://docs.espocrm.com/development...#nameattribute

If you find EspoCRM good, we would greatly appreciate if you could give the project a star on GitHub. We believe our work truly deserves more recognition. Thanks.

Thank you so much, Yuri, for your reply.
Is there a way to do this in the current version of EspoCRM, or should I wait for version 9.1?

Only by extending detail view. https://docs.espocrm.com/development/custom-views/ Not 'record/detail', but 'detail'.
