Colourise List Fields or Rows

Barry Neilson

Jira Cloud - Team Managed

I would like to highlight specific rows in my Project list, and if this is not possible, then I would like to understand how dates are colourised.

For example, in my project's List I have a [Start Date], [End Date], [Actual End Date] fields.

It would appear that the [Due Date] field presents Red when the task is not completed.  However, I would like this property to display on the [Actual End Date Field].

Note: [Actual End Date] was created manually because for some bizarre reason the included Jira Field [ Actual End] is a time field, and it seems not possible to change it.  

Is there any customisation that I can put on these Lists or Timeline pages without having to spend exponentially large sums on add-ins to make Jira look good.

 

 

 

Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira

Hi @Barry Neilson

I understand you're looking for a built-in solution, but just to put it out there: If a solution from the Atlassian Marketplace should become an option for you, I think you'd like the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a range of advanced features, including support for conditional formatting.

With conditional formatting, you can define conditions on your issues, and if these conditions are fulfilled, set the background and text color of either the entire row or just selected cells, like so:

(I'm using a condition on a custom field here, but it would work for the due date as well.)

Conditional formatting also works great in combination with JXL's other advanced features, such as (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), or sum-ups.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
