[SP2019] Set list's field JSLink property

Hi,
Is anyone able to set the JSLink property of a list's field in SharePoint 2019 ?
When I'm trying to do so, no exception is thrown but the property isn't updated.
I have a feature receiver doing so that works in SP2013 but not in SP2019.
I also tried with PowerShell, on a totally different SP2019 environment, but the result is the same : no error but property is not updated.
Thanks.

Hi @AnthonyR-7075,

You have to build SharePoint Framework extensions instead of JSlink. Within the "modern" UI of SharePoint Server 2019 most of those customizations are no longer available. SharePoint Framework extensions enable you to provide similar functionality in the "modern" UI.

1.Create a new SharePoint Framework solution
2.Define the new Field Customizer with JavaScript
3.Test the solution in debug mode
4.Define the new Field Customizer with TypeScript
5.Package and host the solution
6.Bundle, package and deploy the solution
7.Install and run the solution

For Reference: Migrating from JSLink to SharePoint Framework extensions

Hi @CaseyYangMSFT-4714 ,

Thanks for your answer.
I know SPFx is the way to go for modern UI but the SP2019 farm I'm working on use classic experience and will not be migrated to modern UI.
If you run the following PowerShell script in SP2019 :

 $web = Get-SPWeb http://myweb
 $list = $web.Lists["My list"]
 $field = $list.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("MyField")
 $field.JSLink = "customCSR.js"
 $field.Update()
 $field.JSLink

What's the output of the last line ? (clienttemplates.js or customCSR.js ?)
Thanks for your help.
