JSON Formatting button to start workflow, not initiating run command.

[AlbertSP]

In a SharePoint list I use the json code below on a column (Register)  to initiate a workflow when clicking on the button.

When I add the code to the formatting of the list's Gallery view, it opens the item in Edit Mode, instead of starting the workflow.

{

"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",

"elmType": "span",

"style": {

"color": "#0078d7"

},

"children": [

{

"elmType": "span",

"attributes": {

"iconName": "Flow"

}

},

{

"elmType": "button",

"style": {

"background-color": "transparent",

"color": "#0078d7",

"cursor": "pointer"

},

"txtContent": "Register",

"customRowAction": {

"action": "executeFlow",

"actionParams": "{\"id\": \"653381c7-37b5-41b7-b429-cf99287ebac2\"}"

}

}

]

}

@AlbertSP The JSON code you have provided in your question is for specific column formatting and not for view formatting.

Are you trying to implement it in gallery/tiles view instead of normal list/table view? If yes, you can refer JSON formatting applied on column directly inside your view formatting using columnFormatterReference like: 

{
  "columnFormatterReference": "[$FieldName]"
}

Where FieldName is internal name of your column. You can get the internal name of your column by following this article: How to find the Internal name of columns in SharePoint Online?
