In SharePoint Online I've created a list and applied JSON formatting to a particular view. This formatting essentially displays the items as buttons. I then created multiple views and applied the same JSON formatting to each, and so far, so good - all views display items as buttons.

I then created a new list on SharePoint Online, importing from the existing list so that the new one had the same columns etc. After populating this list, I created a view and applied the exact same JSON formatting to it, but the view appears just like a standard list - the JSON formatting isn't working at all.

What could be causing this problem?

After spending longer than I care to admit, I realised I was missing something very simple.

For my particular JSON formatting to work, I needed to ensure the view was shown as a Gallery. Once I created a new view and chose to Show as Gallery, the applied JSON formatting worked fine.

Moral of the story, ensure the type of view (i.e. List v Calendar v Gallery v Board) is compatible with the JSON code you want to apply.
