SharePoint Online - JSON won't narrow first column in document library

Question

While the following code narrows other columns in the document library, it doesn't narrow the first column. Why? Thanks

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "style": {
    "width": "100px",
    "word-break": "normal",
    "white-space": "wrap"
  },
  "children": [
    {
      "elmType": "span",
      "txtContent": "@currentField"
    }
  ]
}

Hi @vrm ,

I tested it with the JSON code you provided and it works. Have you tried it in another library?

If column formatting still doesn't work, maybe you can take this method as an alternative into consideration. Hide column header using the syntax and create custom column header using JSON. See this demo: hideColumnHeader
