Column formatting now rolling out to first release users
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

The issue where column formatting breaks wrapping on the title field is a known issue - we've got the bug logged and hopefully a fix will be available soon.
Owen Allen is that the issue you're talking about, or are you seeing your entire formatting JSON not persisting in some title columns?

It doesn't sound like the same bug.
I have no column formatting on the document library column named "Title", so the title text is displayed in one line and is cut-off by the column to the right.
I add the JSON script to apply word wrap (white-space), and hit Preview, the cells in the Title column wrap as desired.
I hit Save, and the cells in the column remain wrapped.
I can select diff rows in the view, the cells remain wrapped.
if I close the column formatting right hand panel, the cells in the Title column revert to a single line, eactly as they were prior to my typing/pasting in the JSON script.
i then reopen the column formatting panel, no script.
Happy to get more detail or give access to tenant for testing.
My work around is to create a new column of type single line text, copy content, remove "Title" column from view. (sigh) the things I do for clients.
