Have priority images recently changed?

[Mark Wheeler]

Has anyone else noticed the priority image icons have changed recently? I used the below link to change my priority icons a few months ago so priorities were all up or down arrows of different colours.

However, over the last few days (I believe) the icons appear to have reverted to the Jira defaults of circles and inverted Vs of various colours.

The below Jira change ticket also implies from the latest comment on 02/Feb/21 that there may be some new and old images but didn't know what they did.

How can I get back to the "old" images for priority?

Yes they changed - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Priority-icons-are-more-accessible/ba-p/1732935 

AFAIK you can’t “revert”. You could consider creating and setting up your own. As a site admin - administration - issues - priorities , edit each priority and set URL to where your icons reside.

Thanks @Jack Brickey - really useful.

I get why Atlassian have changed the icons but forcing these changes on users is really annoying as we provide training and write user guides, that suddenly becomes out of date.

I'm sure we'll get used to the new icons but I personally find them harder to interpret., but then again I'm not colour blind fortunately. I would be nice to have the option to use existing icons or new accessible schemes.

We used to have custom icons but don't have an easy place to host our images which is accessible.

Yep one of the downsides of a SAAS based solution.
