Fix - SharePoint Online List column JSON formatting for person group field displays [object, Object]

⛔️ PROBLEM - SharePoint List JSON formatting person/group name returns [object, Object]

For long truncating names for person/group fields, you would want to wrap the name from the people picker field. But when you use JSON to format the @currentField value, it returns [object, Object] as the value and not person name. This is because person filed is treated as a lookup.
