    Chauc3r , Use below code to apply JSON to Created By field:

     

    {
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "children": [
    {
      "elmType": "img",
      "style": {
        "width": "32px",
        "height": "32px",
        "overflow": "hidden",
        "border-radius": "50%",
        "margin": "2px"
      },
      "attributes": {
        "src": "='/_layouts/15/userphoto.aspx?size=S&accountname=' + [$Author.email]",
        "title": "[$Author.title]"
      }
    },
    {
      "elmType": "span",
      "style": {
        "vertical-align": "middle",
        "margin-left": "2px"
      },
      "txtContent": "[$Author.title]"

Chauc3r, Yes, $Author is internal name of Created By column and $Editor is internal name of Modified By field. So, only the single change of internal name was required.

Thanks ganeshsanap - made a real difference that!

I've got a 'Last Edited' column that is of type Person/Group, that copies the person from the 'Modified By' column (There's a flow running on create/modify item - so I check the 'Modified By' column and only run the flow if that is not me (The 'system' user)).

 

Is there anyway of displaying the stored person using a hover card? At the moment it's just showing the creator of the column (i.e. $Author - $Editor still comes up blank).

Thanks

    Chauc3r, You can use the same JSON code, just replace the $Author or $Editor by the internal name of your person or group column, like: [$internal name]

    You can fin the internal name of your column using below link:
