Formatting column making the column text to disappear
Hello,
I was testing Column Formatting using JSON on Name column in a document library. However, each time anything is adding, it makes the content in the column to disappear. I was trying the simplest column formatting to places the value of the field inside a <div /> element:
{ "elmType": "div", "txtContent": "@currentField" }
Not sure, if I am doing something wrong. Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.
This should fix it
{ "$schema": "http://columnformatting.sharepointpnp.com/columnFormattingSchema.json", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": { "operator": "+", "operands": [ "[$FileName]", ".", "[$File_x0020_Type]" ] }, "style": { "color": "orange" } }This link helped me

Hello
It is nice but the folders names get "." at the end.
If there a way to distinguish Folders from Files?
Thanks
KrzysPS. there is actually one more problem. As you can see on the image below if I format the column using the following code:
{ "$schema": "http://columnformatting.sharepointpnp.com/columnFormattingSchema.json", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": { "operator": "+", "operands": [ "[$FileName]", ".", "[$File_x0020_Type]" ] }, "style": { "white-space": "normal", "color": "#000", "padding": "3px", "border-bottom-color":"grey", "border-bottom-style":"solid", "border-bottom-width":"1px" } }Although, I am getting what I want so the full name of the files/folders wrapped within the DIV with a bottom border, Folders' names get a "." at the end and more annoyingly when you visit a folder its name and formatting disappears (see the top item in the list).
Any solutions?

KrzysTo remove the full stop, take
".",out of the code.
Sorry i can't help with the Folder / File issue, as we're not using folders.
(Metadata views are the new folders!)
The problem is, that as the code is being added to the column everything within that field will adopt the same colour. So i guess you'd need to somehow differentiate between item type (Or maybe content type might )
Gregory Melson might know
- It worked. Thank you, Gregory!
Also works for list "Item" field.
