This field will no longer be available in version 5.0.113 and higher. Instead, the field functionality is now available within a separate and free app, STAGIL Traffic Lights.

To retrieve field values via the new app, a Traffic Light (calculated type) field needs to be manually configured.

How to Create an Assets Traffic Light Field

  1. Select → Issues.

  2. Under FIELDS, select Custom fields.

  3. Click Create custom field. Make sure to select All to filter down the STAGIL field.

  4. Find the Assets Traffic Lights field, select the type you want to create and click Next.

  5. Add a Name for your field and an optional Description → Next.

  6. Configure field context → Create.

  7. Add the new custom field to one or multiple screens by ticking the corresponding box and clicking Update.

How to Configure an Assets Traffic Light Field

Find the custom field you want to configure, click the 3 dot menu, → select Configure. Then select Edit STAGIL Traffic Lights to open the following page:

Issue Source

Issue Source defines the issue scope to run the query through and validate the values for the Traffic Lights field:

Issue Source = Current Issue: used to run queries about the field values within the current issue.

Example:

IF the date in the Start Date field is occurring before today’s date, THEN the Traffic Light field red

IF the date in the Start Date field is occurring one day from now, THEN the Traffic Light field is yellow

IF the date in the Start Date field is occurring two weeks after today’s date, THEN the Traffic Light field is green

Issue Source = JQL. ‘JQL’ refers to an option to define a scope of issues via a JQL query and validate them through custom conditions. Consequently, the query results define the Traffic Lights values.

Example:

Issue scope: project = “Open Space Project” AND issuetype = “Story”

IF more than 1 issue within the scope is unassigned, THEN the Traffic Light field red

IF more than 1 issue within the scope is “Waiting for Approval”, THEN the Traffic Light field yellow

IF there is no issue in status category “In progress” or “To Do”, THEN the Traffic Light field green

Issue Source = Links of Current Issue. Select an issue link as a base for the JQL query. The query will run through all issues associated with the current issue through the selected link type.

Light/Condition/Order

Here, you can define conditions for each light based on your selected issue source above. First, you define the JQL and then, optionally, the number of issues that trigger the light's colour. For example, if there are more than 5 issues within the defined JQL queue, they all will be marked with a red traffic light. Besides this, you can rearrange the order of the colours by sorting them up or down.
