How to create field with link to detail view

[Systems Navigator]

I was wondering how to create a field that will link you to detail view. Now the links are only available for the name variables, but sometimes I want to assign that link to other fields. For example I created a cases module on which I want to click forward from listview to detail view by the casenumber I assigned to it. That casenumber is a custom field. So my question is: what code do I have to add to which file to create that link.

Thanks a lot!

Please clarify from which module's ListView , what link from the list view and which module DetailView you are trying to click to.
Also can you post the listviewdefs.php and the def of your custom field?

It is a copy of the orginal bugs module which I renamed to SNCases. After that I customized the whole module to our requirements. The field 'SNCASES_CASENUMBER_C' from the listviewdefs in the custom map is the field that has to be the link to the detail view of the SNCASE. In which file can I find the def of my custom field? I think it is also in the listviewdefs.php file.

Thanks a lot for your help

First: Your custom field def is in cache/dynamic_fields/YOURMODULE/fields.php
…
Anyways. So far my understanding is that from your custom module’s ListView you will have your SNCASES_CASENUMBER_C listed as a column (am I right?).
… Then when you click on this link you want to go to the same module’s DetailView (am I right again? Hope yes ).
If I was right in my assumptions then you just have to add to your SNCASES_CASENUMBER_C def ‘link’ => true in the listviewdefs.php.
So, here:

   'SNCASES_CASENUMBER_C' => 
  array (
    'width' => 10,
    'label' => 'sncases_casenumber_c',
    'default' => true,
   'link' => true,
  ), 
  

this will automatically link your field to the current module's DetailView
