Since Microsoft has chosen to upend the usability of (previously working perfectly great) SharePoint Lists and we have yet to find a suitable alternative, we’re stuck trying to apply band-aids every day. Today, I’m struck with the issue of no longer being able to edit the value for a hyperlink column.   

We’re using this hyperlink column to show employee photos. The file (jpg) is in a shared folder in SharePoint. When in Edit Grid mode and I select the cell to edit, my browser (Edge) just opens a new blank tab. I can not edit a single item because the form was reformatted in PowerApps and there’s no longer an option to edit this form.  

The formatting for the column is below. The option to format the url is picture. 

{“$schema”:” https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json“,”elmType”:”a”,”attributes”:{“href”:”@currentField”,”target”:”_blank”},”children”:[{“elmType”:”img”,”style”:{“width”:”150px”},”attributes”:{“src”:”@currentField”}}]}
