I am trying to override the field rendered in a view. The field name is: this_is_field

I copied the /core/modules/views/views-view-field.html.twig and placed it my theme folder.

I renamed with both methods below

views-view-field--this-is-field.html.twig
views-view-field--display-name--block-name--this-is-field.html.twig

I have turned on Twig debugging and still the copied template isn't working.

Am I renaming wrong?

It needs to be:

views-view-field--[field-machine-name].html.twig

If you look in Manage Fields, your field machine name is probably field_this_is_field.

Therefore, in your case:

views-view-field--field-this-is-field.html

Note that this is will override for all views that have this field, if you want to only target a specific view use:

views-view-field--[view-machine-name]--[field-machine-name].html.twig

  • The first method worked like a charm. How about the second...meaning what is the [view-name]?

  • @pierostz the name of your view, if your view is called "Cool Items" then you add there cool-items

  • This answer did not work for me. To get the override working I used views-views-field--[view_name]--[display_name]--[field_name]. Note the use of underscores instead of hyphens for the view, display and field names.

I tried second method from above answer and it didn't work. What works for me is views-view-field--[view-name]--[field-machine-name].html.twig
