In a document library i have two fields.
- Approve - Single line of text
- ApprovalStatus - Choice
I have added JSOn to Approv field. "Approve Button
{"$schema":"https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json","elmType":"button","txtContent":"Approve","customRowAction":{"action":"setValue","actionInput":{"ApprovalStatus":"Approved"}},"style":{"background-color":"#008000","color":"white","justify-content":"center","width":"75%","height":"80%","border-radius":"15px","box-shadow":"0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1)"}}
"
This button click updates ApprovalStatus field sucessfully. But, getting error alert box.
