Inline Editing On Person Fields
Hi guys,
I am trying to implement the Inline Editing on a Person/Group Field.
I am using this condition.
{
"elmType": "div",
"inlineEditField": "[$Pessoa]",
"txtContent": "@currentField"
}
And it works! I can edit inline.
Thing is it doesnt show me the person name, it shows [Object Object]
Any solution?
Thanks in advance
jsantos489 Give this a try.
{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "inlineEditField": "[$fieldName]", "txtContent": "[$FieldName.email]" }mstevens22
in that case you can use the "title" property instead of the "email" property{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "inlineEditField": "@currentField", "txtContent": "@currentField.title" }
A bit late, but if anyone looking for a solution, unfortunatelly it's not as simple as adding only a txtContent like in a text column.
For that, I rebuilt the formatting the best way I could to mimic the original formatting for person field. It will organise the people in a grid with their images and names. It's also clickable to see the people M365 profile. Just change the [$PERSON_COLUMN] to the name/id of your column and it's ready to go.
I hope it helps someone in the future 🙂{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "_comment": "MAIN DIV ===================", "elmType": "div", "inlineEditField": "[$PERSON_COLUMN]", "style": { "display": "inline-block", "width":"100%", "height": "100%", "padding": "6px", "box-sizing": "border-box", "-moz-box-sizing": "border-box", "-webkit-box-sizing": "border-box" }, "children": [ { "_comment": "FLEX DIV ===================", "elmType": "div", "style": { "display": "flex", "height": "100%", "width": "100%", "flex-wrap": "wrap", "box-sizing": "border-box", "-moz-box-sizing": "border-box", "-webkit-box-sizing": "border-box" }, "children": [ { "_comment": "LIST DIV ===================", "elmType": "div", "style": { "display":"flex", "flex-wrap": "wrap", "width": "auto", "margin": "auto 0px", "padding": "6px", "box-sizing": "border-box", "-moz-box-sizing": "border-box", "-webkit-box-sizing": "border-box" }, "children": [ { "_comment": "EACH PERSON =========", "elmType": "div", "forEach": "person in [$PERSON_COLUMN]", "defaultHoverField": "[$person]", "customRowAction": { "action": "defaultClick" }, "style": { "display": "flex", "text-decoration": "none", "color": "white", "cursor": "pointer", "margin": "5px 5px", "text-align": "left", "border-radius": "10px" }, "attributes": { "class": "ms-bgColor-neutralQuaternaryAlt ms-bgColor-themeSecondary--hover" }, "children": [ { "_comment": "PICTURE =========", "elmType": "div", "style": { "display": "flex", "width": "20px", "height": "20px", "margin": "auto 0px" }, "children": [ { "elmType": "img", "attributes": { "src": "=getUserImage([$person.email], 'S')" }, "style": { "width": "25px", "height": "25px", "border-radius": "25px", "margin": "auto", "position": "relative", "top": "-15%" } } ] }, { "_comment": "NAME =========", "elmType": "a", "txtContent": "[$person.title]", "style": { "color": "#9C9A98", "font-size": "11px", "font-weight": "400", "margin": "auto 15px auto 15px" } } ] } ] } ] } ] }Good work Vanloss !
Anyone trying to use above JSON formatting, Note - In JSON [$PERSON_COLUMN] is an internal name of your person or group column in this format: [$InternalNameOfColumn].
You can get the internal name of your SharePoint list columns by following this article: How to find the Internal name of columns in SharePoint Online?
