Conditional formatting list field based on multiple field values
Hi!
Can I format a list field using a field extension based on a given logic from multiple fields on a row?
Let's assume, I have a list with 3 columns:
| Enddate | Status | Traffic light |
| 1/4/2020 | Done | Green |
| 2/4/2020 | Open | Red |
The background color of field "Traffic light" should be either Green or Red, depending on the condition:
if Enddate < Today and Status == Done = Green
if Enddate < Today and Status =! Done = Red
Is that possible and are field extensions the right tool?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
You can use column formatting to display the background color in your required field [Conditional formatting based on the other field values] as per your requirement. You would need to construct a JSON object that describes the elements that are displayed when your field is included in a list view and their display style.
Please refer to this sample which will be helpful for your current requirement - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting#apply-formatting-based-on-date-ranges
If you are new to column formatting, please refer to this link which will help you to get started - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
