Display the priority name vs priority icon

Justin Sipiceanu

Problem statement: cannot easily distinguish the priority arrows and their colors when viewing a list.

Question: instead of displaying the arrows for priority is it possible to switch to simply display the priority name? ("Highest", "High", "Medium" etc)?

I'm aware that another custom icon could be added, but I'm interested in using the already available "Priority Name" ("Highest", "High", "Medium"...) and simply displaying that instead of the priority icon (the arrow icons).

It's not possible out of the box. Can you tell us if you're on Jira Cloud or Jira Server? I can guide you to change this if you're on a self-hosted environment.

We're on Jira Cloud :-).

Hi Steven, I recently upgraded JIRA from v. 7.2.4 to v. 7.11 and on self-hosted environment. Could you please share how to change the priority to display "name" (ie. Highest, high, etc)instead of "icon"?

Thank you

Erick

I put it in a plugin to save time. For self-hosted installations -- https://bitbucket.org/sfbehnke/navigator-priority-prettytext

You can download the plugin via the downloads page --

https://bitbucket.org/sfbehnke/navigator-priority-prettytext/downloads/
Please note that this also includes a 'standaloneScript.js' file, which you could paste into your Announcement banner.

it is a problem for our team too, since we have a color-blind team member

It would be much better (to my opinion) to have the priority NAME as default, and not the icon

Benjamin LELLOUCHE

You can easily change icons and priority colours on the tickets set-up parameters.

Can someone help me with this issue please. I am still trying to add names to the priorities in a dashboard gadget called "Filter Results" on Jira Service Management dashboard and can't figure out how to use the plugin. Any help would be appreciated!

I know your posted is older, but I saw you comment about this issue while looking for something else I wanted to share with you (and others on this thread) how we just solved this in our JSD (cloud).

I simply created a custom field (TicketPriority) that is a single select dropdown with the same choices as our System Priorities. Then I created a rule to watch for when the value of Priority changed, then it would edit the new TicketPriority with the smart value of the issue {{issue.Priority.name}}

If you have a plugin like Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence, you could use a table transformer macro with an embedded Jira report and the following code in the macro:

CAST(T1.'P' AS String) as 'Priority'

This displayed the priority, column T1.'P', as just the text. I realize this may not be helpful for users who don't have this specific macro/plugin, but you may be able to use other macros or write your own user macro to perform type casting like this.

Hey @Alex, this seems like a great suggestion. We have said plugin, but I'm new to it. I'm trying to figure out where to implement your code. I tried under both the SQL Query tab and the Stylesheet tab, but neither worked. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Alex_5v3oa6

@Brent Nye The SQL code will always go into the SQL query section of the Table Transformer macro. I should have mentioned that the code I posted above is just a snippet of what you will need. Depending on what information you want to display, your code will look different. Take a look at this reference: here from the vendor for more specific information using SQL queries with that macro. The full code would be:

<span>SELECT<br>T1.'Summary',</span>
<span>CAST(T1.'P' AS String) as 'Priority'</span>
<span>FROM</span> T<span>*</span>

That code will display a 2 column table with the Jira summary and Jira ticket priority in text form. Depending on the columns you want to display, you'll need to expand your code. Try using the above code and see if you can get it to display correctly. Note, the above code will only work if you have 1 Jira Report macro embedded within the Table Transformer macro. You would need to further modify the SQL code to reflect additional tables or information in the body of the macro. If that does not work for you, describe what kind of error or issue you are seeing and we can triage it from there.
