Issue Color field?

Gary Spross_o1iwv6

What does the "Issue Color" field do? I added it to the screens for an issue type (Task). When I do that, I see a color bubble appear to the left of the "Summary" field, but that's it. Is that all it does? Does it have any impact on the issues as cards on a board? Am I missing something? I tried Googling for an answer, but couldn't find much of anything explaining what this field is used for.

I am aware that soon, Epic Color will be replaced by Issue Color, but as of right now, does the Issue Color field do anything other than what I described above?

Hi @Gary Spross

My understanding is "Issue Color" is the replacement for "Epic Color", and that both only apply to Epics. This is the color epics display in their lozenges on child issues and on roadmaps, etc. And so this color can impact boards/backlogs when they show their parent epic's information on the card, swim lanes, and the epic panel.

However...I just noted some user stories in our instance have the Issue Color field set, although I do not know the specific casual path and there is nothing in the history; so this happened at issue create: top-nav, clone, inline create, addon, automation rule, etc. None of them appear to be issue-moves from source epics.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hey @Bill Sheboy

Thanks for the response. You pretty much confirm my understanding of the field, which is very helpful. I wasn't sure if I was missing something. I was thinking it could maybe be used to adjust the highlighting of the cards when flagged or something helpful like that. Not the case though. Noted.

Thanks again!

Yes, and...the built-in "card color" only provides a tiny color stripe down the side of cards. "Flag" is the only exception as flagged cards fully highlight.

There are many open suggestions to change cards' background color conditionally, such as this one: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17278

Is there a way to color code per swimlane? red in one lane because its been 2 weeks but then it restarts back to green when the task is moved to the next lane in the workflow?

Thank you,

Alexis Gutierrez_ddyrzi

Yes, that is what I want. Each lane to have its only color code for how long it has been in that lane. But I tried and it gave me this error.

"Pending Renders" is your status, not your statusCategory.

Each status falls into a StatusCategory and they are: To Do, In Progress, or Done. This can be used if you have a grouping of statuses you want to filter on.

Alexis Gutierrez_ddyrzi

This made everything green even though a task have been sitting in the " In progress " for about a year.. I don't think this will work for what I would like. Something that might be available later down the road.

Thank you for all your help!

this worked for me:

NOT status CHANGED AFTER -14d AND status = "In Progress"

I think you need to order your queries oldest to youngest, and be sure to exactly match the name of the column.

NOT status CHANGED AFTER -14d AND status = "In Progress"

NOT status CHANGED AFTER -7d AND status = "In Progress"

NOT status CHANGED AFTER -3d AND status = "In Progress"
