SP List View formatting using JSON - Query String parameter
Hi Everyone,
We have a requirement to customize the SP list view using the JSON formatting for Gallery view. In this view we have to present a clickable control and the target link is a field in the same list.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting
This custom JSON based list view will be added to SharePoint page using OTB list view webpart. This page will have a query string parameter associated like "QueryStringKey" and value for example "QueryStringValue"
https://<<tenantname>>.sharepoint.com/sites/<<SiteCollectionName>>/SitePages/CustomPage.aspx?QueryStringKey=QueryStringValue
SP list, Link field value in one list item - https://<<tenantname>>.sharepoint.com/sites/<<SiteCollection2Name>>/SitePages/IntranetHome.aspx
The requirement we have is to update the link field value that is rendered in gallery view of that list view as below -
So, We would like to know if we can update the value that is getting rendered in the list view using the JSON format accept the query string parameter values as said above. It would be helpful if any leads are provided for this requirement implementation without any SPFx customization/development.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhanu

bhanu chintha Unfortunately, JSON formatting does not support reading URL query string parameters.
If your query string parameters are fixed then you can create a new link by using string concatenation (+ operator) in JSON formatting. Considering internal name of your column is "PageLink", you can build new URL like:
"href": "=[$PageLink] + '?QueryStringKey=QueryStringValue'"Documentation: JSON Formatting syntax reference

- Hi ganeshsanap, My page query string parameter values will change for most of the scenarios. Its not constant.
Yeah, I was not able to find the option of reading query string parameters. 😞bhanu chintha If query string parameters are not constant then it is not possible to achieve using JSON formatting.
