how to get the edit form link of a sharepoint custom list item

You can use this link Insert Reference

Hello Sojan,

Using your example, this did not work out so well.

I used the following link in the URL:

https://webURL/dept/accounting/Lists/Orders/EditForm.aspx?ID={List item ID}

Here is the link that was returned:

https://webURL.com/dept/accounting/poreq/Lists/Orders/EditForm.aspx?ID=%7bList%20item%20ID%7d#InplviewHash56c0e914-4f71-4d8d-8a04-f15bd58b99d6=ShowInGrid%3DTrue

The above link when the user clicks on it opens the SharePoint DefaultEdit form not for a particular List ID item in the custom list, but a blank new DefaultEdit form from the list that I have.

If you have a chance please have a look and see if you can see anything wrong.

Thank you

WebURL and {List Item ID} are the references that you have to insert. 

In the email notification, use the Insert Reference button and select these from the respective tabs. List Item ID will be in Item Properties tab and WebURL will be in Common tab.

You need to use list internal name.

Here is the Format

If you are not find Site URL in Common section you can use Web URL. It definitely fixes your issue.

No need for '+' in the URL. This is from SP2013 on prem:

It there a way to have the link open in a dialogue window in SharePoint or at least open in a new tab in the browser?

Ramana,

I think the link that you are providing is for Nintex form. Sean requires link to be opened from the email notification in the workflow.

, why are you worried about opening the link in the new window? The link in the email will always open in the new window. Is it not behaving this way?

I am worried about opening the link in another window as I need to make it as easy as possible for the user to see the information that I am linking to through the email.

What I would really like to be able to do is create a link in the Nintex email that goes to the end user and when they click the link it opens the referenced link in a SharePoint modal window. This way the information is "front and center" for the end user and thy are not taken to another browse tab or browser window.
