Calendar view inside addon

Since version 4.1.1 a Calendar View inside Projects and a Calendar Dashboard Gadget is available, where we can get an overview of the situation at any time.

In order to be able to activate this view, the tasks in the project must have the DueDate value set. In this case we have the possibility to display a calendar with this information with colors based on the status color.

As shown in the following GIF, we can display the calendar by selecting, from the left-hand sidebar, the Add-ons item and from there the new Calendar item.

The calendar view can be switched on or off. Simply activate or deactivate it, as shown in the following GIF:

(disable the module “Issue Calendar Panel” inside the Status Colors add-on/license screen)

Just enable/disable the module : Issue Calendar Panel in Manage App Section.

An interesting trick

Since Jira 8, Atlassian overrides the status description and replaces the color for the standard one in the standard statuses. This is a problem? NO (smile) We are lucky and there is a trick to change the color in Jira 8 also for those situations. It and it's easy!

Just use the Translate status button

insert the color code in description

the result is ….

Migration path from Jira Server to Jira Cloud

If you use the migration tool of Atlassian, the migration of New Status Colors PRO from Jira Server to Jira Cloud is automatic

Jira 9 new Issue View workflow “button”

Experimental version compatible with Jira 9 is already released

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 every time there is a status to shown. For this reason we use a cache in form of cookie, named: StatusColorsv2

  • If your admin change or modify or add new statuses and colors, probably the cookie will be outdated and must be refreshed.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