SharePoint Row Formatting in Picture Library (bug??)

Question

Good day.

I'm trying to do some conditional formatting on a photo library in list mode.
Very simply, if the item has not been applied a related asset (Asset lookup field) then the row should simply be red.
Below are images of my list and the JSON I used.
You can see ALL records are red(?????) Just the bottom/last one should be red . I obtained the example from Microsoft.
Seems as if there is a bug with doing this in Picture libraries but Microsoft tech support seems to think it's out of scope. The designer mode doesn't work, all it does is allow one to choose the 'Modified" field in picture libraries(?????)

You can see in the image, the one row with an empty 'Asset' which should be pink and all others white. But they're all pink

Hi @Carl Williams

Since you are using a lookup column, we need to perform some conversion on the column.

You can refer to the following code, it can run normally in my test：

{  
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",  
  "debugMode": true,  
  "elmType": "div",  
  "attributes": {  
    "class": "=if(@currentField.lookupValue == '','sp-field-severity--severeWarning','')"  
  },  
  "children": [  
    {  
      "elmType": "span",  
      "style": {  
        "display": "inline-block",  
        "padding": "0 4px"  
      }  
    },  
    {  
      "elmType": "span",  
      "txtContent": "@currentField.lookupValue"  
    }  
  ]  
}

As I mentioned, the JSON was from Microsoft's formatting views document:

view-formatting

I simply changed the name of the field and and the if statement to [= ''] and still it didn't work. I find most things I try to accomplish in SPO, Power apps don't really work as expected.

{  
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/view-formatting.schema.json",  
   "additionalRowClass": "=if([$DueDate] <= @now, 'sp-field-severity--severeWarning', '')"  
}

BTW. Is this possible with the entire row??

I changed @currentField.lookupValue to [$Asset] in both instances but that didn't change anything, then I tried [$Asset].lookupValue and that didnt do anything either. :(
