change the colour card based on labels

Gabriella Fryett

I would like to colour the cards on the kanban board based on labels assigned to each ticket.

label = tracking - where tracking is one of the labels used within Jira.

Currently even though the JQL validates with a green ticket - the colours do not show.

Cheers

This looks like a bug to me. I encounter the same issue. Are you utilizing the component field at all? This definitely works and could be used in a similar way.

Hi everyone,

There is a documented bug where we are tracking a scenario that can cause card colors to not appear on a board. Please see JSWSERVER-13620 for more details.

Essentially, if you have any invalid JQL queries in the card color section of the board settings, no card colors will appear at all for that board. It could be that the label value was invalid, or one or more of the values was not be referenced correctly in the JQL used. However if the JQL is valid, then that should correct this here.

I hope this helps.

Labels are free ticket thus make sure you type the exact thing in the JQL as it is on the ticket. And other users also type the exact text. Since labels are free text thus I personally don't prefer to make use of them as chances of error are high because even a small typo would break the functionality.

Gabriella Fryett

We aren't but we could if we can find a way to make it work.

Actually, if you add double quotes around the label field value, your issue will be resolved!

E.g labels = "tracking"

Cecil Dearborne

Did anyone ever find a solution to this because I'm having this problem as well.

Mithun Narayana

I was going through similar problem. However, instead of going with "=" format I proceeded using "in", which worked!!

Example: labels in ("Blocked").

Jack Brickey

That certainly works. The “in” operator is used primarily used to shorten a JQL. For example:

labels = “blocked” OR labels = “aaaa” OR labels = “bbbb” is more tedious than labels in (“blocked”, “aaaa”, “bbbb”)

Experimenting. We did the following:

Color: RED

JQL: labels in (Blocked, BLOCKED, blocked)

Color: LIGHT BLUE
JQL: labels in (suseng, chore)

Posting here for anyone stumbling upon this thread still looking for an answer.

We did the following:

Color: RED

JQL: labels in (Blocked, BLOCKED, blocked)

Color: LIGHT BLUE
JQL: labels in (suseng, chore)

We're probably moving Blocked to a specific State (and column) so we can track the time spent in that state/column.
