Apply different colors to Jira (Software DC) status

[Viraj Sunthankar]

Hi All,

We wish to change the Jira issue status color other than the default colors (To Do - Grey, In Progress - Blue and Done - Green as per our color theme) for a particular project and /or issue type combination. We were able to partially achieve this by using the following Adaptavist Scriptrunner's Script Fragment script via 'Show a Web Panel' :

writer.write("""
<style>
    #opsbar-transitions_more {
        background-color: #FF0000;
        color: #000000;
    }
    #action_id_21 > a > div > div:nth-child(3) > span {
        background-color: #FF0000;
        color: #000000;
    }
</style>
""")

But this is working partially. The colors are working in the transitions section/dropdown. But as we are setting opsbar-transitions_more directly to red (#FF0000), irrespective of the color that I have set in #action_id_xx, the color of the current status and the color of the status in the transition dropdown are not matching if set differently. For e.g., I want the 'Waiting on Customer' status to be yellow, the transition dropdown displays it as yellow but the main status which is colored using {{#opsbar-transitions_more is set to red. PFA for more details. So can we conditionally add color in #opsbar-transitions_more to match the color in the transition dropdown. So in our eg, Waiting on Customer should show yellow in the transition dropdown and in the actual Jira issue status.

There are several apps to make issue "more colorful" based on their status, resolution, etc.

This one, it seems, does exactly what you try:

It is paid, but maybe the license fee is less than the value of your time used to build and maintain it.
