Is there a way to configure different colors for values in a Select List custom field?

[Bianca Sarmiento]

I have a Select List (single choice) custom field that acts an indicator for RAG Status. I would like to configure the choices to be different colors. Is there a way to do this in Jira Software Cloud?

Can you add emojis as a select list value on Jira Cloud? https://getemoji.com/

Something like...

• 🟩 OK
• 🟨 Warning
• 🟥 Danger

UPDATE:

Yes, you can:

How?

1.-  Look for the desired emoji at https://getemoji.com/
2.-  Copy & paste as it was regular text.

Best regards, enjoy the trick!

Hi Jack - It's unclear to me how you were able to get the color boxes below. Can you help to further clarify.

Look for the desired emoji at https://getemoji.com/, then copy & paste as it was regular text.

Ok, but how you search for it via jql?

[Jack Nolddor _Sweet Bananas_]

Haven't tried myself but it should be something like:

"Your Field Name" ~ "🟩"

...or... if you added some text apart from the colour

"Your Field Name" ~ "option text"

This is so much simpler than trying to use any of the "traffic lights" plug-ins. Solved a long-running pain point for my teams. Thank you so much for sharing !
