List View: add additional settings

[andrejd22]

After upgrading from version 13 to 15, our content editors were surprised by a change in the list view behavior. Previously, selecting an item from the list would open it in a full-page view. In the new version, items now open in a modal (sidebar), which has impacted their workflow.

Currently, the only way to open an item in full-page view is to locate it via the content tree. However, this is not ideal, as the tree’s ordering doesn’t match the list view, making it time-consuming to find relevant items.

Based on feedback from our content editors, introducing one of the following enhancements is necessary:

1. Make modal behavior configurable from the list view:

2. Add a toggle to allow items in the list view to open in a full-page view instead of a modal.

As a temporary workaround, we plan to implement a custom list view (based on Umbraco’s default table view) and adjust the behavior at the point where item paths are generated:
document-table-collection-view.element.ts:

const editPath =
  item.unique && this._workspacePathBuilder
    ? this._workspacePathBuilder({ entityType: item.entityType }) +
       UMB_EDIT_DOCUMENT_WORKSPACE_PATH_PATTERN.generateLocal({
         unique: item.unique,
       })
    : '';

change to logic from tree-item-context-base.ts:

const editPath = `section/${pathname}/workspace/${entityType}/edit/${unique}`

If option 2 is implemented, this is the area where the toggle setting could determine how the path is constructed:
