Is it possible to "highlight" a workflow transition button?

Adam Humenansky October 20, 2021

We're using Jira Server, and a user raised a question to me today.

Can we highlight a Jira workflow transition button? 

My first thought jumped to "opsbar-sequence" so I reordered the buttons to put them in order of "preference" (i.e., moving the workflow forward instead of backward).

However, while I was editing the transition properties, I had the thought that there may be a property for "button background color" or something similar. Something that could set it apart from the other options, as opposed to just a better ordering of options.

A new thought just came to me based on this question:
Approve could be colored green, and Reject could be colored red. That could be a widely beneficial "use case" based on this idea.

Hi @Adam Humenansky , 

Applying background colors to transition buttons is not natively available in Jira and an existing suggestion request https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-41519 is present in Atlassian backlog.

Alternatively, if you look for app based solution then you can try https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221443/color-workflow-actions?hosting=server&tab=overview app to meet your requirement.

Thanks,
Avinash

I forgot to browse the open suggestions, so I appreciate you linking it here. I voted on the issue, and in the meantime I'm going to try the app. Thanks for the help!
