Colouring cards in a kanban board based on upcoming fix versions

[benji.weiser]

We have a product which has 4 components.

I have a Kanban board for each component and have created fix versions for the next and further upcoming versions for each component, for example:

Project Y - Component 1 - Component 1 Version 2.12, Component 1 version 2.13

Project Y - Component 2 - Component 2 Version 3.2, Component 2 Version 3.3

What I’d like to do is colour certain cards on the board based on which version they’ll be in. For example, cards in Component 1 Version 2.12 are green, cards in any further versions, such as Component 1 version 2.13, are blue.

I cannot currently find a way to do this, only to make all cards one colour, I think the components and all of them being in one project is the tricky part, but I can’t change this.

The current, not working, 'solution' is:

One colour with query - fixVersion is not EMPTY

Another colour with query - fixVersion is not EMPTY AND fixVersion > earliestUnreleasedVersion()

The 2nd one doesn't work because there are multiple unreleased versions across the components.

Can anyone help?

Hi @benji.weiser and welcome to the community!

The only way you'll be able to do this is by statically capturing the specific fixVersions.  For example:

• Color 1: fixVersion IN ("Component 1 version 2.12")
• Color 2: fixVersion IN ("Component 1 version 2.13")
• etc.

Hi Mark, thank you and thanks for the reply.

That was my fear, I was hoping to do it more automatically but that'll do for now!

Thanks again.
