JIRA structure: color text for existing fields

[Caleb Park]

Is there any way to color-code on texts for existing fields in Structure?

I know there's formula, but I was using it after creating another a new column with formula, for example, IF(ExistingField="Blah Blah", "{panel:bgColor=y}Blah Blah{panel}") 

But what I want to do is:

When I write something for one of the existing fields (single-line text) in Structure, it should add the text with COLOR in that column.

Namely, I need to deal with only one column to add the text and see the text with color in the same column.

Hello @Caleb Park 

If you mean to both display the actual value of the field and apply a coloring rule to it, you can do it with a formula like this:
if existingfield : concat("{panel:bgColor=y}", existingfield, "{panel}")

I hope this helps. If you need assistance with anything else, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.

Hi @Stepan Kholodov _Tempo_ 

Do you have to use a FORMULA to color on it?

Is there other way to do it without using a FORMULA?

So, I actually want to color on the EXISTING field, not on a new formula column.

For example, when I change an existing field from "None" to "In Progress" in Structure, the text "In Progress" needs to be in Yellow.

It is not possible - Structure can't directly add coloring or any other format change to existing fields in Jira. But you can display a field's value in the Formula column and update it in the way you need.

@Stepan Kholodov _Tempo_ Okay thank you for your time, Stepan!

if this.story_points : this.story_points
else "{panel:bgColor=yellow}Missing{panel}"

This works fine, but if I want to double click and edit the Story Points field, then it is not possible anymore sine the field is not a formula. Is there any way around this? It should be possible to use conditional formatting for a column without breaking the possibility to double click to edit the column.
