Change label color (e.g. Due Date in IssueNavigator)

[Sergey Tverdokhleb]

Is it possible to change label color in any simple way?

For instance:

If Task has not reached it's due date, then make this 'Due' string with green color, if past due - red one.

You could create a Scripted Field (via Script Runner plugin) with following details:

• Name e.g. "Due Date"
• Searcher: Free Text Searcher
• Global Context
• Script Template: HTML

and this script:

import com.atlassian.jira.util.I18nHelper
import com.atlassian.jira.web.bean.I18nBean
import com.atlassian.jira.web.util.OutlookDate

def outlookDateManager = componentManager.outlookDateManager
def user = componentManager.jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()

I18nHelper i18nBean = new I18nBean(user)
OutlookDate outlookDate = outlookDateManager.getOutlookDate(i18nBean.getLocale())

def dueDate = issue.getDueDate()
def now = new Date()
if (dueDate) {
    def dueDateText = outlookDate.formatDatePicker(dueDate)
    if (now > dueDate) {
        return "<div style='color:red;'><b>" + dueDateText + "</b></div>"
    } else {
        return "<div style='color:green;'>" + dueDateText + "</div>"
    }
} else {
    return null
}

Now you could use this custom field in your issue navigator to display the colored due date.

Hi Henning,

we dont use outlook with jira.can u provide me modified code 

[Henning Tietgens]

Hi jeetu,

the OutlookDateManager has nothing to do with MS Outlook. It's a class from the JIRA API to format dates.

Thanks Henning,

I am getting following error

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Script2.groovy: 15: expecting ')', found ';' @ line 15, column 16.
if (now > dueDate) {
^

1 error

[Henning Tietgens]

Oh, yes, seems to be a transfer error from moving the answer from Answers to Community... I corrected the script.

Thanks Henning ,placed the code in the scripted field. i am getting the floowing error.Could you please debug the error

ERROR [customfield.GroovyCustomField]: Script field failed on issue: BISR-25, field: Dt

[Henning Tietgens]

Which JIRA version do you use?

[jeetu]

I am using Jira 7.4.1

[Henning Tietgens]

Ok, the code above is for an older version. Use this instead:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.datetime.DateTimeFormatterFactory

def formatter = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(DateTimeFormatterFactory).formatter()

def dueDate = issue.getDueDate()
def now = new Date()
if (dueDate) {
    def dueDateText = formatter.format(dueDate)
    if (now > dueDate) {
        return "<div style='color:red;'><b>" + dueDateText + "</b></div>"
    } else {
        return "<div style='color:green;'>" + dueDateText + "</div>"
    }
} else {
    return null
}

Thanks Henning,its working good.could you please add extra functionality to check 3 days before duedate and yellow label to it.

[Henning Tietgens]

How about trying it by yourself? :-) It's important to learn this stuff because you have to support it for system updates and so on...

You can simply substract days from dates. So "dueDate - 3" is three days before due date. And "color:yellow" could be used for yellow.

If you have problems, paste your code and the errors you get.

Henning

[jeetu]

Thanks Henning,have added the functionality and executed succesfully.

[Henning Tietgens]

Well done! :-)

I've created a javascript script, then my issue labels show as follows:

Selection_038.jpg

Configure it

Setup the color on the board

Selection_040.jpg

Selection_039.jpg

Show the labels on the cards

Selection_042.jpg

Use the script  bellow on tampermonkey extension (tampermonkey is a script runner extension for many browsers)

// ==UserScript==
// @name         New Userscript
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  try to take over the world!
// @author       You
// @match        https://youratlassian.atlassian.net/secure/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==
(function($) {
    function doSomething(){
        $('*[data-tooltip*="Labels"]').each(function(){
            var css = $(this).parents('.js-detailview')
            .find('.ghx-grabber').attr('style') ;
            $(this).attr('style', css).css({
                'padding': '2px 3px',
                'color': '#303030',
                'text-shadow': '1px 1px 1px white',
                'border': '1px solid #808080'
            });
        });
    }
    setTimeout(doSomething, 1000);
    setInterval(doSomething, 1000 * 10);
})(jQuery);

Obs: there is a limitation, JIRA will apply only one color by card

[Sergey Tverdokhleb]

check if it more clear now. Thanks.

Hi, I don't understand your question, could you provide more details? What do you mean with label?
