Can JIRA status lozenges/buttons be set to display the full status name?

Can JIRA workflow transition lozenges/buttons be set to display the full transition name?

Currently the field cuts off most of the transition title, which is a problem as our organization has some rather long workflow status/transition titles, and if the lozenge resized to accommodate the longer names it would not be an issue in the first place.

@josh,

Thanks for the speedy response!

Can you post the URL to the other question you responded to?  I am unaware of it.

I am on JIRA cloud and have no idea how to change the code of the announcement banner, or even what that is. 

But I found this:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/configuring-an-announcement-banner-938846985.html

"If you are using JIra Server, the banner can be configured to contain HTML text. If you are using JIra Cloud, you can only use wiki markup in the banner."

Which I assume means I can't use the html trick you are referring to?

Hi Charles,

Yes, unfortunately you are correct that this will only work on Jira Server.

Yep, like I posted in the other question, put this code in your announcement banner:

<style type="text/css">
.jira-issue-status-lozenge-max-width-medium {
max-width: 25em;
}

/* COMMENT OUT THE NEXT LINE IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY USE AN ANNOUNCEMENT BANNER, OTHERWISE IT WILL BE HIDDEN */
.alertHeader{display:none;}

</style>

Thanks for the script! But this does not work for the linked issue statuses.

Is there an additional script to customize the lozenge of the linked issues as well?

Thank you.
