Move Epic to issue type bug keeps color field

[Nicole Kaiser]

Hello Community,

I moved an Epic to issue type Bug, but it keeps the Epic color field. Is there a way to remove the Epic color field?

Regards,

Nicole

Hello @Nicole Kaiser 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Are you talking about the color block that appears next to the summary?

If so, that is just one "color" attribute used by all issue types. Typically color is set only in Epic issue types, but if you change the issue type to another type, the color field remains set.

There is currently no method to "clear" the color field through the UI, nor through Automation Rules (including using Advanced editing with JSON). Also, "None" and "White" are not available color choices. So there is no way to remove the color block once it has been set.

There is a change request to add more color options which could help if white is made available (or a clear option is added). You can add your vote to it here:

Hi @Trudy Claspill , @Benjamin , @Piyush Annadate _ACE Pune_ , 

Thank you for your reply. Your feedback gave me a better understanding how the concept of fields is working in Jira. I will check with our Admins about the options.

Thank you all!

Hi @Nicole Kaiser ,

I don't recall having that issue showing up other than Epic. Perhaps, update the screen to remove the Epic color field from your other issue type would solve this issue. 

Thanks,

Ben

Hi @Nicole Kaiser ,
Welcome to the Community !

Can you share the image wherein the Epic Colour is available.

You can actually remove the EPIC Color from the BUG screens (jira admins can do that)
