SP List Header - New Item shows user display name at Adding or Editing item
leonardbd Use .title instead of .DisplayName. I just tested and it is working fine for me. Also, make sure you are using correct internal name of your people picker column in JSON.

Thanks for the reply. It works just fine. But I have another list that has "Software Name" as a choice field instead of a Directory name pick. That isn't working. I guess for the SPACE in the filed name. Dont know how to write that in code.
here is it .. the last part of the Header code \

........
{
"elmType": "div",
"txtContent": "=if ([$Title] == '', 'New Item', 'Software Name: ' + [$Software Name])"
}
]
}

}leonardbd You have to use the internal name of software name column in JSON.

If internal name is SoftwareName then use [$SoftwareName].

- Hi Ganesh, unfortunately it didn't work. I found the internal name by following your resource.
leonardbd Is it a single selection choice column or multiple selection choice column? Can you show us the screenshot of internal name of column you found and how you are using it in JSON now?
Also, this column should be available on list form in order to reference it in the SharePoint JSON form formatting.
