    I have observed this behavior as well on my SharePoint site. Try below things after "saving" the JSON in body section:

    • Refresh the page (hard refresh: Ctrl + F5 in windows)
    • Clear browser cache

    It worked for me after hard refresh and I also think that this is a temporary issue from Microsoft side (maybe because of latest updates in SharePoint online).

I've done some testing on this. The first SharePoint List that I tried adding JSON to was a list "created from an existing list." This is the list that was problematic for me with the JSON. I had one of my SCAs recreate the list using ShareGate instead. Now I am able to configure the form with JSON as aspect.

Klutzu2 BRUuuuh! this worked. I forgot I even created this one from another list but must have been.

Thankyou for your service.

    Update: It worked when I first applied after creating new list. But now it won't take any changes to the JSON.
    Will try to figure out what else is correlating.

      BennoS I too had the feeling it was working in the beginning, but I am not sure. Just discovered it later on.

    Issue prevails with a list created from scratch (blank list) and a custom content type added.
