Referencing 'Version' Column

Question

Hi there,

I am relatively new to using SharePoint as well as JSON and as mentioned in the subject, I am having issues in trying to reference the Version column (set by the approval status).

What I hope to achieve is such that if the "version" number is the same as the "version flow" number, a conditional formatting would be set to show a green background and red if the version flow number is less than the version number.

I have hard coded the values of 13 just to see if I could get the colours to appear. Whenever I try to reference [$Version], the values in version flow would disappear. Help on the matter would be greatly appreciated!

I have attached my current code applied to th 'Version Flow' column as conditional formatting.

{
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "@currentField",
  "attributes": {},
  "style": {
    "background-color": {
      "operator": "?",
      "operands": [
        {
          "operator": ">=",
          "operands": [
            "@currentField",
            "13.0"
          ]
        },
        "#98FB98",
        {
          "operator": "?",
          "operands": [
            {
              "operator": "<",
              "operands": [
                "@currentField",
                "13.0"
              ]
            },
            "#FF6A6A",
            ""
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "customRowAction": {},
  "children": []
}

Instead of using [$Version], use [$_UIVersionString].

So, your code should be something like below:

{
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "@currentField",
  "attributes": {},
  "style": {
    "background-color": {
      "operator": "?",
      "operands": [
        {
          "operator": ">=",
          "operands": [
            "@currentField",
            [$_UIVersionString]
          ]
        },
        "#98FB98",
        {
          "operator": "?",
          "operands": [
            {
              "operator": "<",
              "operands": [
                "@currentField",
                [$_UIVersionString]
              ]
            },
            "#FF6A6A",
            ""
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "customRowAction": {},
  "children": []
}

Note: Version is a Single line of text field.
