SharePoint List Form Configure Layout - Body Not Working
- Aug 04, 2021
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 have solved this by turning off the sync for the list in List Settings > Advanced Settings > Set Offline client availability to No.
Obviously not ideal if that's the functionality you required but currently not required for my needs.
Hope this helps others and I'd be interested to know if it works for anyone else?

YES, thank you so much for this! Tried different browsers, clearing the cache, etc. Sometimes the formatting would come back, but more often than not I was just wasting my time and nothing would change. Disabling offline availability fixed it immediately, so I'm curious to see if it stays that way now, or if I'll need to toggle it periodically. Either way, this is likely gonna save me a tonne of time!

Didn't realize there was a thread on this already, started a new one few weeks ago.
Blue_Brumie - Turning off the sync from list settings worked for me too.
I've been working with MS Support on multiple issues and the fix they recommended, disabling the sync - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/lists-sync-policies, also fixed other issues we've been having so far. After adding DisableNucleusSync, dword:1 as stated in the document, the formatting now sticks for all the lists I was having issues with. We will be testing with more users this week. It will need to get pushed out however to all the users once tested.
