View Formatting - Can't display People Field
Hey,
I'm creating a custom view for a list with JSON. So far everything works fine, with one excaption. I'm not able to display the information from a people field.
My Field has the name "Director" (Checked with the url) and regarding to the docs the Name of the person should be "[$Director.title]". When I insert this in my view the row is empty. (Same with ID, Email, ...)
Here is my JSON and my result:

Thanks a lot!
In the below code from your post the 'Director' div you have given the txtcontent directly, for the Project Manager, you have given [$ProjectManager.Title], it should be lowercase title. Can you please correct the json and try, instead of trying with the whole json, just try to use only 'Director' and 'Project Manager' field for testing and then you can append the rest of the code, since it is working fine.

If I use only one field it works for me. I will digg in my code to find the error when displaying multiple Fields
