Automatically fill a single text column in Lists by the value of a Person Field column
Femke11 If you just want to show the email address in the list view, you can easily do it using JSON formatting like:
{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": "[$PersonGroupCol.email]" }Where PersonGroupCol is internal name of person or group field. You can get the internal name of your person or group column by following this article: How to find the Internal name of columns in SharePoint Online?
You can read more information about this approach in my answer given at: Get Email from user and enter into SharePoint list field

Wow, this works much faster! Thank you so much!!
I've tried to do the same with the name of the person (because I cannot use a Person Field column as a Lookup in another List) and therefore I've tried the same JSON formatting (I used "[$PersonGroupCol.name]" and "[$PersonGroupCol.displayname]" instead of "[$PersonGroupCol.email]") - but that doesn't work :-). I cannot seem to find a list of names. Do you happen to know that as well?
Femke11 The people fields in JSON formatting supports the following properties (with example values):
{ "id": "122", "title": "Kalya Tucker", "email": "email address removed for privacy reasons", "sip": "email address removed for privacy reasons", "picture": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/kaylat_contoso_com_MThumb.jpg?t=63576928822", "department":"Human Resources", "jobTitle":"HR Manager" }You can get the name of users using the title proeprty.

With 'title' it works 👍
"[$PersonGroupCol.title]"
