How do I change the field that is used to display the vertical bar with color on a view?

Moses Dwaram August 29, 2025

When on a list view, there is a field that is used to display the color in the form of a vertical bar based on the status. How can I configure this field? In my screenshot, Roadmap is currently set and it shows green based on the value color. I'm not sure how and when this field for set and I can't see any place where I can change it. How can I change this to a different field? Thank you!

It's actually at the field option level

Hey Bill, Thank you for responding. I know where to change the option colors. I'm asking about assigning the field itself. In the screenshot, you'll see that Roadmap is selected to show the green highlight on the row. I want to use a different field for that and replace Roadmap field with Delivery field to be used. How and where can I change that setting, so now Delivery is used and is displayed a the vertical line indicator? Does that make sense?

@Moses Dwaram  -- In the image you show, that green bar is to the left of the Ideas on a list view, not on a board view (as is normally used for a "roadmap").

Perhaps I am misunderstanding which view you are using, and you have features in the premium version of JPD; I cannot compare to those with a free license.

Hi @Moses Dwaram -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For a field in the view, when you edit the field configuration, you may set the formatting options.  Several colors may display at once for different field formatting.

For an existing view, hover over the color bar to learn which field is causing the formatting when you want to edit it.

 

Kind regards,
Bill
