Column formatting not showing when view shown in a List Web Part (Modern Page and List)

I have a list with a JSON Column Formatter applied, the column format works fine when viewing the list directly, however when I'm using the List Web Part (still appears to be a preview part), the col...

Thanks for looping me in.  We are working on adding the column formatting functionality to the list view web part now.  We are planning on shipping this functionality in the next couple of months.

Dear Lincoln,

 

Are the next couple of month a matter of 3-4 month or a matter of 6 to 12 month.

It would be good know, if I can count on it when we go online with our awesome new SPO platform in June or I need to work on an alternative solution.

 

Thx for letting me know

Philipp

    We're actually planning on rolling this out in the next month or two.  We have not made the announcement yet, so it's not certain, but we're on a path to ship very soon.

      Hi Lincoln,

      Not sure if this has rolled out yet, but custom list views had been working OK in list web parts (except for classes - had to directly apply styles instead); however, today I noticed that column headings are now being shown in the web parts.  They weren't appearing yesterday, and I haven't changed anything on my end.  This is happening in multiple tenants.  Is this something that is going to be corrected (soon I hope)?

       

      Thanks

      Not working here either. Applied coloring with the standard "Fill background color" template for a choice field, and looks great in the modern list view. But have tested now in Web Part Page, Site Page, and Wiki Page and none of them is displaying the background color formatting.

       

      It's been almost a year since original post, and several months since promised fix. Any update? Some people are reporting the behavior fixed, others not. Was it not fully deployed, or rolled back? 

       

      Thanks.

        Darin Hawley Web Part Page, Wiki Page are classic SharePoint pages. The column formatting only works on the modern web parts, which are available on the modern pages only.

      Any update on this feature rolling out. Last update in this thread was about 2 months ago.

      Thanks
