Found a bug that seems to fix it. Change column to singel line of text, add formating
{

"elmType": "div",
"txtContent": "@currentField",
"style": {
"padding": "4px"
}
}
and change back to multiple line of text

  André Nesheim Thank you for the suggestion, your method worked well for me.
  
  However, I did run in to issues when entries in the column exceed 255 characters. Since it is a multi line column, it allows user to enter more than 255 characters. However, when the word document is opening in the app, there is a yellow banner at the top that reads: REQUIRED PROPERTIES - to save to the server, correct the invalid or missing required properties.
  
  There are no required properties in my library, and I found the invalid field was the one I had changed to single line of text and then back to multi line text. It seems Microsoft still thinks the character limit is 255, because when I reduced the filed to under 255, the error went away and I could save the document.
  
  I found another solution on the page SharePoint Online Modern Experience Multi-Line Field Display - Microsoft Tech Community It uses JSON to add a scroll bar to the multi line of text field. I am going ot try that out.

  André NesheimI just tried applying the formatting to a Multiline text field. It works. So no need to change column types.
