Hi there Atlassian community,

I would like to create a custom field that would be a dropdown of statuses and they would be colour-coded. Being very new to JIRA, I would really appreciate some help in doing this.

Thank you,

Domi

Hi Domi

Those colors are based on the Status Category of the status and serve a purpose across the application. You are not going to be able to change the colors of those. 

However, you can change the color of the card on the board based on the status if you like. Go to Board Settings > Card Colors and put in a query based on the status and select a color.

Hello @Domi

Why you need to show statuses in colours, is there any particular request?

Hi @KAGITHALA BABU ANVESH,

I think it's mainly to mimic the colours we already have for our tasks and epics' statuses in a workflow.

Hi @Domi

I believe there are a few free apps already available in the marketplace that have this functionally.

But if you want to develop a plungin go here: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/creating-a-custom-field-in-jira/

Thanks, @Fabian Lim. I will check this out but I would prefer not to go down the plugin path
