I'm trying to do some formatting of my document library. I'm specifically trying to format when I've grouped by a column, this column is a lookup column to another list.

This is the code I'm using.

{
    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json",
    "groupProps": {
        "hideFooter":true,
      "headerFormatter": {
        "elmType": "div",
        "style": {
          "flex-wrap": "wrap",
          "background-color":"lightgray",
          "display": "flex",
          "box-sizing": "border-box",
          "padding": "4px 8px 5px 8px",
          "border-radius": "6px",
          "align-items": "center",
          "white-space": "nowrap",
          "overflow": "hidden",
          "margin": "1px 4px 4px 1px"
        },
        "attributes": {
          "class": "'sp-field-borderAllRegular sp-css-borderColor-neutralSecondary'"
        },
        "children": [
          {
            "elmType": "div",
            "children": [
              {
                "elmType": "div",
                "style": {
                  "display": "flex",
                  "flex-direction": "row",
                  "justify-content": "center"
                },
                "children": [
                  {
                    "elmType": "div",
                    "txtContent": "=  @group.count + ' Document(s)'",
                    "style": {
                      "padding": "5px 5px 5px 5px",
                      "font-weight": "500"
                    }
                  }
                ]
              }
            ]
          },
          {
            "elmType": "div",
            "children": [
              {
                "elmType": "div",
                "style": {
                  "display": "flex",
                  "flex-direction": "row",
                  "justify-content": "center"
                },
                "children": [
                  {
                    "elmType": "div",
                    "txtContent": "= 'Agent: ' + @group.fieldData.displayValue",
                    "style": {
                      "padding": " ",
                      "font-weight": "500"
                    }
                  }
                ]
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }

This is giving me an [object Object] result which is really confusing me, I can only assume this is due to it being a lookup column.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

Try using below JSON code:

{
    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json",
    "groupProps": {
        "hideFooter": true,

            "elmType": "div",
            "style": {
                "flex-wrap": "wrap",
                "background-color": "lightgray",
                "display": "flex",
                "box-sizing": "border-box",
                "padding": "4px 8px 5px 8px",
                "border-radius": "6px",

                                    }
                                }
                            ]
                        }

                                    "elmType": "div",
                                    "txtContent": "= 'Agent: ' + @group.fieldData.lookupValue",
                                    "style": {
                                        "padding": " ",
                                        "font-weight": "500"
                                    }
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Use @group.fieldData.lookupValue instead of @group.fieldData.displayValue

Output:

  • You can group based on lookup column from view settings page or from list view by clicking on column name/header. Let me know if it works for you or please Ask a new question where other users can also respond.

  • The lookup column I am trying to make the group is unavailable on the view setting page because it allows multiple options to be turned on.
