How to stop JSON code from appearing in the display of a list

Question

I have a Sharepoint List that has a multiple line text field. I wanted the size of the text of the field to display as 9pt, so I included the below JSON code. Unfortunately the JSON code is displaying with the column entry. Is there any way I can default the font size to 9 and not use the JSON? If not, how can I make it so the code is not displayed (see image)

JSON code

{

"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",

"elmType": "div",

"debugMode": true,

"txtContent": "@currentField",

"style": {

"font-size": "9pt"

}

}

This is what appears in the view of the list for that column

This is what appears in the data entry for that field. I just want the 11pt to be 9pt

Hi @Maria Z，

Per my test, I could reproduce your issue with User enhanced rich text and Append changes to existing text enabled

After disable the two option, I could run the json code as expected. Please check these options in column edit.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, changing those settings did not work. Ideally, I would like to be able to define the font size somewhere in the settings so it always defaults to the value I would like without using JSON if possible.

I really appreciate your assistance.
