MicrosoftColumn formatting now rolling out to first release users
Column formatting with JSON works great (I'm only trying to word wrap long titles), but as soon as I close the JSON code text box, the formatting is lost - I can't get the code to persist, either when I apply it from the column in the view, or from the Library settings page.
Is there a trick or a default setting I need to unwind in order for the code to be persisted?
This is the simple JSON code I'm using.
{
"elmType": "div",
"txtContent": "@currentField",
"style": { "white-space" : "normal" }
}
Thanks,
Owen
So, I should have stated yesterday that it was the "Title" column where this is not persisting.
(In this doclib, Title is only a line of text, no link to edit, etc.)
In other columns, working fine.

Owen, yes looks like you are right ... all other columns seem to work, just not the title column.
And in another tenant, the new doclib has a "Name" column, and it works fine there.
I can't get a "Title" column in a new doclib. This is a migrated doclib that still has a TItle column - perhaps there is some artifact that persisted there. But there must be a lot of doclibs that have both "Title" and "Name" still out there. - let's hope it's still worth a fix for "Title".? Or, maybe I can be told what I need to clear out of this doclib.
Thanks,

Owen, that actually worked for me in lists and I was trying to do that, so thanks. Ps. Just copied and pasted your code :) Will try in Document library to see if that works also.
Yep worked their also.
I just clicked the preview first, then save. and the code was still there when I came back to it.
Cool. It's not the code - (I don't think) - it worked for me in Preview, and when I hit save, and as long as I kept the little code window open, I could change the sort, scroll the view, etc. But, as soon as I closed the code window, the column went back to not being wrapped.
Strange and unexpected, I know. I was kind of hoping that LincolnDeMaris or one of his awesome mighty minions might have seen this before...?
