How to apply highlighting to Due date field on card layout (Kanban board)?

[Pablo]

I use Jira Cloud and I need to customize card layout. Not once I've seen on some Attlassian resources the screenshots and in Jira Cloud instances of parterns companies following thing. 

Due date field is added on card layout on the board and yes I know how to do it Jira Cloud documentation 

The next thing is to apply red highlighting and make the text bold for Due date value that is displayed on card layout on Kanban board. 

Help me please if it's possible to implement? I'm sure that I saw sceenshots where it looked in the way mentioned above but unfortunately I havn't them in my hands.

Hi @Pablo,

To be perfectly honest with you, that highlighting is something I have never seen natively in Jira. On the server platform, I am aware that this exists through marketplace apps - but I haven't found an alternative on Cloud.

What you could do as a workaround, is use card colours as a workaround (Board Settings > Card Colors). You could set a card colour of your choice for overdue cards based on Queries and using:

Due < Now()

I have found how I want it to look like in Jira instance of partner organization https://www.screencast.com/t/gN73QxCL. Project type is Business (not Software) https://www.screencast.com/t/KJZSEf4bqR. Template is Task tracking. You can see in lower left corner displayed Due date field on the card layout.

First of all by default in Business project there is no ability to configure card layout because Board settings does not exist in principle.

Second thing is even on boards which give your ability to edit card layout , absolutely right that it's imposible to highlight field that is displayed on card layout by red color as you can see on this screenshot https://www.screencast.com/t/gN73QxCL

Hi @Pablo  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You could also use an automation rule to mark an issue as flagged when the due date is overdue, which will highlight it on the board better than card colors.  For example:

• Trigger: scheduled to run once per day
• Condition: due date is overdue (less than or equal to today)
• Action: edit the issue to mark the Flagged field as an Impediment

Please see here for more information on using automation rules:
