Automate start and due date fields to change color in roadmap (not advanced)

[Neil Rafol]

We plan to use the roadmap feature to provide project status to management and we would like to automate the color coding of the timeline bar based off of the default or custom date fields... Is this something that can be achieved using automation?

Hi @Neil Rafol  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The epic colors seem to drive the color bars on the roadmap.  If you are okay with changing your epic colors you could use an automation rule to drive changing the colors using advanced JSON editing:

{
    "fields": {
        "customfield_10011": "ghx-label-1"
    }
}

You may find the available colors with a browser search or looking in this forum.

Best regards,

Bill
