How to set the Announcement Banner color to yellow instead of the default black when updating it?

Hello Everyone,

 

There is an option to set a default color for the Announcement Banner, but when updating the banner, the message appears in black. Could you please guide me on how to set it to a yellow warning color? Also, is it possible to create a custom Announcement Banner with a different color?

 

Thanks and Regards,

Jyoti

Hi @Jyoti Kumari 

You can see this documentation : https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/configure-announcement-banner-in-jira-cloud-1217300328.html 

It's important that the toggle to enable the banner be ON (the toggle right under the colors) and after that you have to click on the button to publish

I think it's not possible to customise the banner (not sure).

Have a good day

I found this documentation https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-announcement-banner/#api-rest-api-3-announcementbanner-put but it seems that the color is the only field that is not covered. 

Maybe the color can't be changed via Rest API

Hello Mario GELES and Ignacio Vera ,

 

I have tried updating the banner color using the Jira GUI, and it works correctly there. However, when I attempt to update the banner message via a REST call, the message still appears in black instead of yellow.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Jyoti
