Open Nintex Form in Edit Mode directly from a List

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows the JSON to apply to the Title column to change the open behaviour of a Nintex form to open in edit mode.  The client does not want to click the Ellipse > Edit etc.  They want to click the link in the library to present the form in edit mode directly.  

I tried the following, but unfortunately, the code is invalid for some reason. Wondering if anyone has any ideas on why this JSON is incorrect or know of a better way to improve the user experience.  Thank you.

 

"elmType":"a",
"txtContent":"[$Title]",
"attributes":{
"target":"_blank",
"class":"sp-field-quickAction",
"href":{
"operator":"+",
"operands":[
"/sites/sitename/Lists/listname/EditForm.aspx?ID=","[$ID]"
]
}}

How about a nice button to click?

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "button",
  "txtContent": "@currentField",
  "customRowAction": {
    "action": "editProps"
  }
}

    Thanks Simon, I ended up finding something on Github as well.

    {
    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
    "elmType": "button",
    "customRowAction": {
    "action": "editProps"
    },
    "attributes": {
    "class": "ms-fontColor-themePrimary ms-fontColor-themeDark--hover",
    "title": "Edit Item"
    },
    "style": {
    "border": "none",
    "background-color": "transparent",
    "cursor": "pointer"
    },
    "children": [
    {
    "elmType": "span",
    "attributes": {
    "iconName": "Edit",
    "class": "ms-font-xxl"
    }
    }
    ]
    }

    Hi Brice235i,

     

    this Json only opens the properties in the info panel but doesn't open the nintex form.

    Do you have meanwhile another solution for opening the nintex form?
