Color by Project
Asked by Savitha Gurumoorthy:

Hello, We have selected Color by Project in View settings for the roadmap. However, all bars are Grey except for one project. Any idea how to fix this ?

I was under the impression each project bar would have a different color.

Our AR version (on-prem) is at 3.29.1 where Color by project is now giving us with different colors per project issues as Atlassian documentation - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiraportfolioserver/coloring-issues-on-your-timeline-968677318.html>

[@altassian](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1687436) - Any advise?

In both cases I'm seeing different colours assigned for each project. Is there some subtlety in the problem that I'm missing?

Perhaps you can include some screenshots so I can understand what is happening please?

Regards,

Our view setting -

Demo plan views - there are two projects (JOSSCRUM and JOSBASIC). Their issues are not showing with different colors as described in AR documentation.

Looking forward to your assistance.

We are on Advance roadmaps v3.29.0 datacenter![Screenshot 2020-09-28 104648.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/112080i4238EB4A22A98A95/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2020-09-28 104648.png")

I think that those appear to be bugs so I'm confused as to why I can't reproduce that problem. I would recommend that you both contact your support representatives to investigate this issue. It's not something that we can really dig into in the community channel.

I'm seeing projects given individual colors:

"For the color coding not currently working, this is a new bug that affects existing Plans, but not new ones:

[JPOSERVER-2857](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__jira.atlassian.com_browse_JPOSERVER-2D2857&d=DwMFaQ&c=jcv3orpCsv7C4ly8-ubDoUfrxF5xIGWmptxGWP5vi5w&r=Sy0g50zkGJ7oHErWaUkMkoV09Gk04Qvrylt40_5rehI&m=4y2xSUZztARDqHf2qQmjoixkQ38mm3J8MAc2v2Mr3ow&s=X9-9FdZBZO3BwvGrGuDHmuSBL8Mc2jFJ013rywbHXHY&e=) - All bars are grey when selecting Color by project in view settings"
