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.

Traffic Lights Colours

The Traffic Lights field always has three lights. Light colours can be customised via a colour picker. To open the colour picker dialogue, click on the light that requires configuration:
