Jira custom field colour option

Question

Hi All,

I need to have a cascading select list field where the cascading option of one of value should be a colour. for eg . Project -> Atlas -> Red/Amber/Green. Where Red, Amber or Green should appear as a colour.

Is this possible to acheive in Jira?

Thanks and Regards,

Jenin

So do you want the actual field to be the colour or is it ok for the issue to appear with a colour on the side in the tag section?

Not the field but the sub-value of the cascading select list field as colour.

If I understand what you are saying.  You want different colours for different projects?  you could configure your board card colours by queries and set a jql expression for each project and give each a separate colour.  project = "project a"  have the colour be red... and so on.
