Formatted column with JSON not exporting text to excel

I have a SP list that I added a formatted column to a view.  This column, using JSON, is extracting the email address from the Author object.  When you export the view, the email is blank.  I know I can fix this for future records by populating the column via custom form, but how do I populate the column so that the email shows up in the export to excel?

    Using [$Title] internal name directly in JSON can make Excel export with text.

      I'm curious what that would look like.  Right now, the code is:

       

      {

      "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",

      "elmType": "div",

      "txtContent": "[$Author.email]"

      }

       

      So it should be something like:

      {

      "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",

      "elmType": "div",

      "txtContent": "Created By.Email"

      }

       

      ?
