Formatted view - hideColumnHeader not working in list webpart

I have a list webpart on a modern site which has a view formatted with some JSON

The list column header displays even though the property hideColumnHeader is set to true (this just started happening - was fine before)

It is OK on the list page -AllItems.aspx

 

 

but on webpart page list column header displays

I am using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/view-formatting#get-started-with-view-formatting to test

anybody have any ideas?

    This issue is back in a slightly different form, caused by headerViewsContainer update in November 2024:

    <div class="headerViewsContainer is pulling from .h_wACg9_YBjGt{height:20px;margin-top:0}

    This adds 20px horizontal space at the top of the container.

    hideColumnHeader = true, results in advancing the list to overlap the header, but stopping short of the 20px leaving a visible white bar, when the list and background are colored.

    hideColumnHeader = false, shows this extra space as in attached image below

    This image shows the command bar, then the extra 20px container (Red?), then the actual header, then the list area (Magenta).

    i can overlap the header, but only to the top of the actual header height...the extra container area remains.

    This issue has also been flagged on GitHub  https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-list-formatting/issues/208 so hopefully the right people are in the loop!

      RealPaddy They keep on suggesting we use the sp-dev-docs github for these general bugs. The latest update is here:

       

      https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs/issues/5251

       

      Claiming it will take a couple of weeks to be implemented! It's also confusing because it's hard to verify the authority of the people making claims, unless it's someone obvious like Chris Kent.

    I am hardcore following this. Literally went live using this json formatting and it began to not do its job. I am Heart broken. Never easy to use SharePoint XD

      Hi, any news? I've place a ticket on the portal and they call me back to tell me I need to call the dev team support for this. Did you talk to the dev team?

      Thanks!

    It seems to be a new and exciting bug introduced in the last week or so!
