Simple row color by lookup field
All I am trying to do is color code the rows by the value of a Status lookup field. The documentation says this will work:
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json",
"additionalRowClass":"=if([$Status]=='Not Assigned','sp-field-severity--severeWarning', '')"
}
However, SharePoint complains that "additionalRowClass" is expecting an object. The schema for "additionalRowClass" can be found here. But it is difficult the determine what the attribute wants just looking at the schema.
I can't find an example of what "additionalRowClass" wants to just change the row background color.
Seems you are using wrong JSON schema. You should use
https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/view-formatting.schema.json.
And not this:
https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json
For view formatting, refer below Microsoft official documentation:
View formatting - Apply conditional classes on rows

I just wanted to add some explanation & mainly the link to Microsoft official documentation for view formatting. So, that OP can validate the current JSON as well as refer to the documentation for any changes/enhancements in future.
Hope you understand!
smithme it's the schema that's causing the problem. This will work:
{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/view-formatting.schema.json", "additionalRowClass": "=if([$Status] == 'Not Assigned', 'sp-field-severity--severeWarning', '')" }Rob
