In the new JIRA version, how to change EPIC color?

[Rhita Chatila]

On my backlog, I used to see different EPICs in different colors (easy way to group user stories). I don't have anymore this possibility.

Thanks.

Hi Jenifer,

Well, depends on what information was actually pulled from LDAP to the user properties. If there's a property that only has the manager's first and last name, then you can just use that property (maybe check with your admins if they can add one such property). Otherwise you'll just have to chop around that string to only leave the first and last name (drop first 3 chars and everything after the first comma, assuming the rule is the same for all users). 

Another option would be to use the http://confluence.kepler-rominfo.com/display/SIL30/ldapUserStruct routine and query the LDAP directly.

Hope this helps!

This - Otherwise you'll just have to chop around that string to only leave the first and last name (drop first 3 chars and everything after the first comma, assuming the rule is the same for all users). Is what I think I need to do, can you give me a starting point on how I can code that?

Once you have the full proprty value returned by getUserProperty, you can find the first index of a comma using http://confluence.kepler-rominfo.com/display/SIL30/indexOf and then http://confluence.kepler-rominfo.com/display/SIL30/substring starting at index 3 and ending at the index returned by indexOf. Note that indexOf returns -1 if comma is not found. More string manipulation routines here: http://confluence.kepler-rominfo.com/display/SIL30/String+Routines Hope this helps!
