Possible to use column formatting in Tile view?

JoeyD67 

You can refer the JSON column formatting for the columns in Tiles view using columnFormatterReference.

You will have to open the Tile/Gallery view JSON in advanced mode and make the changes accordingly.

For example: Here is the JSON I used for DocSetColumn in the document library: 

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "style": {
    "color": "red"
  },
  "txtContent": "@currentField"
}

Output:

            ]
          }

Note: You have to pass the internal name of your column to columnFormatterReference property. You can get the internal name of your column by following this article: How to find the Internal name of columns in SharePoint Online?
