Hi Hjalmar Otto Fjøsne ,

 

Sorry to hear that, but can you please share more details around the issue.

Do you have the JSON which was applied to the column? And what do you mean that the JSON do not show in "Format this column" option? Are you saying that you are able to see the formatted column but there isn't any JSON when you open the formatting pane?
If you are also not able to see that formatting being applied, can it be possible that some other user, who has the edit access on the list, must have removed the formatting?

 

It would really help in debugging if you can share the JSON you are using which isn't showing on the webpart but is working fine when you navigate to the list.

Hello,

 

I have added the basic button from the Microsoft Documentation for editProps and it works fine in the library view, but when added to a modern page the button either does nothing or tries to open the document rather than the properties. Reading through this thread I cannot tell if that is still to be expected or not?

 

Thanks.

 

Code for reference:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "button",
  "txtContent": "Open this item",
  "customRowAction": {
    "action": "editProps"
  }
}
