JSON in hyperlink formatted column
The @currentField in a hyperlink column is actually an object, not a simple string. So when you try to compare it directly to "SessionSchedule", the condition doesn’t evaluate as expected. That’s why your background-color logic isn’t triggering; and it’s trying to compare an object to a string.
"background-color": { "operator": "?", "operands": [ { "operator": "==", "operands": ["@currentField.description", "SessionSchedule"] }, "#FFCE33", "" ] }This checks the description of the hyperlink (the display text) and applies the yellow background if it matches "SessionSchedule".
If you want to style the actual link (<a>), you can also apply conditional logic inside the style of the elmType: "a" block - just make sure you're referencing the correct property.
