Coloring Milestone Stars in Road Maps Selection

[Joshua]

Within JiraAlign, please see screen shot attached, is there a away when you use the "Roadmaps" selection and create Epic Milestones and the "stars" display as seen under the blue row below is there a way to change the color of those stars?  I don't see any options to change the coloring when I create the milestone so wondering where that is configured.  Thanks!

Hi @Joshua

If having custom color-coding on your roadmaps is essential for you, you could use a Jira integrated app like ours (Visor) to visualize your Jira data:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226209/visor-spreadsheet-gantt-chart-for-jira-with-excel-export?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

In Visor you can designate any issue as a milestone, and set custom color-coding based on any drop-down field (status, assignee, initiative etc.) whatever makes sense for you.

Not sure if that is exactly what you want, but hopefully it's useful to know an option exists if you really need it!

Best,

Mike

@Michael Yaroshefsky - Visor for Jira  This is Jira Align, not Jira.  The Marketplace app you suggested is not something that can be used in Jira Align.

@Joshua Thanks for the question!  

The star icons for milestones have specific colors that are not something that can currently be changed.  

This article gives you more information, however I also copied the pertinent section here. 

To display milestones on your roadmap:

1. 1. From the side navigation, choose Roadmap.
   2. Select the Milestones and objectives button located in the upper-right corner.
   3. To enable milestones, switch on the Milestones toggle.
   4. Once enabled, milestones display as star icons on the corresponding work item’s row. Start dates render as blue stars and due dates render as yellow stars, making milestones easy to track. Completed milestones include a check mark.
