People Picker Fields Not Displaying Correctly in Microsoft Edge (SharePoint List)
Hello,
I'm experiencing an issue with a SharePoint list containing approximately 300 items. Each item includes 5 People Picker (PP) fields.
In Microsoft Edge, some of these People Picker fields do not display their values correctly—this happens regardless of whether I'm viewing the list in list view, item view, or while editing an item. However, the values are stored correctly, and everything displays as expected when using Google Chrome.
There is some JSON formatting applied to the list, but the issue persists even in new views without any custom formatting.
The behavior is inconsistent: sometimes an entire row of People Picker fields is empty, and other times only one or two fields are missing. This issue affects multiple users.
Here are the relevant environment details:
- OS: Windows 11 Enterprise
- Version: 23H2
- Build: 22631.5335
- Experience Pack: 1000.22700.1081.0
- Microsoft Edge: Version 137.0.3296.62 (Official Build) Stable + Beta Channel (64-bit)
- SharePoint Online (E5 License)
Has anyone encountered this issue or found a workaround?
Thanks in advance!

I ran into this too recently, and the fix was changing my permissions. Sure enough, I was using Edge, and it did work in Chrome. It also worked in an InPrivate window.
My account was added to a limited access group, and changing my permission level solved the issue. Keep in mind that I had to wait (up to 24 hours) for the SharePoint page to refresh before I saw the names back on the list. I believe I could have logged out of my 365 account and back in if I didn't want to wait. For me, it was the end of the day, and the list refreshed by morning.
Hi,
As a workaround, please try the following
1. Use a different browser, such as Google Chrome, where the issue does not occur.
2. Try opening SharePoint in InPrivate mode for Edge.Hi, thanks four your reply.
Using a different browser is not the best way, as Edge is the default in the company (of course it works with Chrome).
I tried Private Mode as well as deleting cache and cookies. For the first time loading the page (both cases) it worked. However, after refreshing the site, fields where missing again.
