On Roadmap - How to make issue colour not linked to epic colour?

[Mark McCarrick]

Hello, I'm trying to configure settings which will show on the roadmap, issues by their set colour type and not inherit their epic colour which they sit in.

At the moment, I can change the epic colour and it will change all child linked issues colours to the same. This is irrelevant if the issue colour is set to something different.

I can change the epic colour by right-clicking and this will change all the issues underneath. 

I can't change the issue colour by right-clicking on the schedule:

At a glance, I want to be able to group issues using colour. So the epic can be whatever colour, in this example purple. But I want the issue colours to show as yellow and keep the epic colour the same as it was.

Hope this makes sense!  Can anyone help advise?

Thanks!

HI @Mark McCarrick welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Child issues of a parent (in this case Epic) will always have the same colour as parent, you cannot change this.

See documentation article Change color of issue schedule bars on your roadmap for more info.

Thanks @Dave Mathijs! No worries then, hopefully something the Atlassian team can possibly look at in future.
