Hi Mike,

 

We are running into the same issue as well when adding a list using JSON green-yellow-red status column directly as a web part. 

 

Don't if this will meet your requirements but the workaround I've implemented is utilizing Page Viewer (see below for the procedure I went thru), which seems to work fine for now. Hopefully Microsoft will support JSON formatter in web parts in the future.

 

Procedure

  1. Make note of the URL for your SharePoint list.
  2. Go to your SharePoint page you want to add the web part and select Edit page.
  3. Click on the Insert tab > Web Part > Media and Content > Page Viewer.
  4. In the Page Viewer web part, select Edit Web Part.
  5. In the Page Viewer dialog, make sure Web Page is selected, than enter the URL noted from Step 1 into the field provided.
  6. Click Apply.

NOTE:  You may need place a fixed height or width (in Appearances section) accordingly on the web part as well.
