How to customize a Jira task

As you can see, users may define their own issue customization by Project, Status, Type, Priority, and Assignee.

For example, we will customize issues due to their priority, because it’s easy to miss blockers or critical tasks in the tones of the issues on the Main Dashboard. With your own issue custom style, you will always see the most important tasks.

  1. Choose a preferable value ( in our case – priority)
  2. Then select styles – background and text color. We will choose a red background color for the blockers, in order to see them immediately on the Timeline.
  3. The next step is choosing the font style.
  4. Apply your custom style.
