Assigning colours to a context field

Dominic Callan

I have created a context field for tasks on a next-gen board that identifies the specific department that has logged the task (Sales, Product etc).

There are 12 different depts. Is there a way to assign colours to each, so it is instantly visible to everyone when looking at the backlog which dept owns each task?

Otherwise this is not clear unless you open each task and check

Thanks

@Dominic Callan I don't think this is an available feature in Jira.

All the best,

Thanks @Tinker Fadoua .

I have found an extension App that does what I want, using JQL to colour code certain criteria in the backlog. The app is called Color Cards.

Unfortunately however there is a problem with this app, it does all of this color-coding in a separate window, not within the JIRA application. So effectively, it is of no use to me.

I haven't been able to find any other third party apps to do this

@Dominic Callan

you are confusing me little bit here. I was thinking you were trying to color a text box not a card.

Color Cards are available in Classic Projects without the need for any plugins. Under Board -> Configure

Let me know if that's what you are looking for.

Best,

Apologies if I wasn't clear @Tinker Fadoua .

I want to colour code my backlog issues in our next-gen board. We've committed to a next-gen board and it is used a lot by the business, it would be a bit of work to switch back to classic, although I might have to.

In summary, i'd like each of the issues in my Backlog list to be colour coded, based on the previously mentioned criteria.

Cheers,

Dom
