Special Fields

[jsabety]

Couple of things... for formatting the body we have to use the display name of the fields and not the internal field names like we need to use for JSON column and view formatting? Also, people and lookup fields don't seem to work in terms of organizing sections in the body.

I also found that lookup fields and people columns don't expand when used in Header or Footer..

edit: found also that date fields don't accept being added to sections, unless there is a specific method for naming them in the JSON.
