I am new to Sugar, and just developing a custom module in Module Builder, based on the 'Basic' template. I was a bit surprised to find that the product is lacking such an imperative feature:

The ability to designate one of the selected 'list view' fields to be a link (in order that the returned records in the list can be clicked to open up the detailview for the clicked record). I have found that because I decided not to include the 'Name' field in list view (choosing a different bunch of fields instead) that I no longer had the ability to open a record from the list view - making it kind of pointless. The only way it appears possible is to amend the listviewdefs.php file manually to designate one of the displayed fields as a link. Has this been missed by mistake in the core system? - as in my eyes this is a glaring omission. What is the point of a GUI driven development tool designed for non-programmers if you need to manually code the listviewdefs.php to allow displayed entries to be clickable?

An imperative feature in my opinion.
