Very Important:

A plugin must be installed in your favorite browser: Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge are compatibles.

First: install the addon (by a Jira Cloud Admin)

Follow the classic way to install using the Find new apps in the Atlassian Marketplace, as shown below

Second: Configure the colors in the status description (by a Jira Cloud Admin)

We can set new color for own states easily. Just go to the Global Admin section of Jira to edit the Jira Statuses.

Edit some Status and put the right color code (we can discover the right color code from this page, where there is a great explanation of all colors ) inside the Description field as show on following GIF:

example: In the global “Status” standard config page of Jira, put in the status description “(black)” or “(springgreen)” or “(pink)”… always the name of the color in lowercase in parentheses

Next setps: install the addon in your favorite browser (by Jira Users)

After this, the following pictures show us how deploy the Chrome/Edge/Firefox extension:

( In your Jira Cloud, go to “Apps” → “NewColors!”)

Usage (by Jira Users)

Just select Filters → Advanced Issue Search and result will be visible in:

• Advanced Issue Search View screen

• Issue Screen Only for Server/Datacenter Version

• Jira Dashboard Gadgets

  

• Jira Service Management Queues

  • Note: In large queues use the mouse “scroll” to reload the status color

• Jira Software Project Issues View

Troubleshooting: (by Jira Users & Admins)

• The first time the plugin is installed in our favorite browser, the system loads the list of statuses and colors in a browser cookie, in this way, it does not make a call to Jira Cloud every time there is a status to shown. For this reason we use a cache in form of cookie, named: StatusColors

• If your admin change or modify or add new statuses and colors, probably the cookie will be outdated and must be refreshed. In that case, go to your Personal Settings page of Jira and click in the large named button 😇 “click here to reload NewStatusColorsPRO Cache…”
