Describe the bug / error

If I add column formatting to the Person or Group column (Work Phone display), and when filling out the field, if the user does not have a Work Phone, the field remains empty. However, this breaks the Grid View and there is no way to edit items there.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create Person or Group field and select Show field: Work phone in the list;
2. Create item and fill the email of person who doesn't have Work phone on this field;
3. Add column formatting to this column;
4. Try to Edit in Grid view;

Expected behavior

To being able to edit the list in Grid view.
