Microsoft list Configure Layout - Not working as expected

Hi,

I have below JSON for Microsoft list Body formatting: 

 

{
    "sections": [
        {
            "displayname": "Section 1",
            "fields": [
                "Title",
                "Model2",
                "advicedto"
            ]
        },
        {
            "displayname": "Application",
            "fields": [
                "Model",
                "Claim Adviced Date"
            ]
        },
        {
            "displayname": "Others",
            "fields": [
                "Brand"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

 

This should put Title, Model2, and Advicedto columns in Section 1. And Model, and Claim Adviced Date to the Application section. Sadly, I am not getting the expected result. Some columns are coming in the Others section, which is not defined in the JSON. Please see the below screenshot:  

What can be a solution to this? Please help.

Thanks.

    rupeshadh Make sure you are using correct display names of your columns. Also check below rules & official documentation and see if it works for you.

     

    • One or more sections can be defined for a body.
    • Each section can reference one or more columns in the list or library.
    • A column can be referenced only in one section.
    • If a column is referenced in multiple sections, the first section where the column is referenced will take the precedence.
    • A column not referenced in any of the sections will be automatically referenced in the last section.
    • New columns added will be automatically referenced in the last section.

    Documentation: Configure custom body with one or more sections
