 Description  « Hide
It is very easy to oversee the due date for an issue! The display in the same line as created and updated is very inconsiderable (grey font color).

Our JIRA users requests a more noticeable display of the due date, like:

  • move the due date display instead of the top-line into the left pane of the issue details (like status, id etc.) and display it bold
  • in addition display the due date red when the issue is over-due.

This should also be done for the HTML email notifications!

I couldn't agree more. How about a system property value (either in the properties file, or preferably in the U.I.) that determines the font for Due Date that would become part of the CSS or something. So, for sites that don't mind the way it is now, the default font will be like now, but we could over-ride it with some sort of HTML tag like
<color="FF1818" size =+2> or something like that. In the meantime, can you suggest how we could accomplish that with a code change to our source? I would like the due date to display in a larger red font too.

To fix this it is possible to edit file includes/panels/issue_headertable.jsp under the JIRA web application and edit line 56.

Thanks,
Anton

Hi Neal,

I've just edited the mentioned JSP-file issue_headertable.jsp for a better display of the due date. I've tested it with JIRA version 3.5.2.

When you have a more up-2-date version you can just redo the changes in the file I did. Therefore I've marked my changes with comments starting <%-- DUEDATE DISPLAY

See my 2 screenshots for the result

With best regards,
Alexander.

But nevertheless this kind of due-date display should be standard in JIRA and configurable (may be in the property-file is enough for the start).

Best regards,
Alexander

Thanks, Alexander. I'm running 3.3.3, but I may make those changes as well.

Neal Applebaum added a comment - 28/Mar/06 08:54 AM
I installed your changes but it looks like they are hardcoded to work with your date format, so the date comparison code doesn't work as is. I use the default, which is dd/MMM/yy. I changed the code to match my date format and it worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing! I am going to install in my live installation soon.

Hi Neal,

thats true! This hack is dependent on the used date-format! Sorry that I've forgot to mention.

Good to make also other JIRA-users happy

I've attached my file in case anyone is interested. It's for ver 3.3.3, and uses a bright red font size 3 for overdue issues using the dd/MMM/yy date format, and a green font size 2 for non-overdue issues. I've also attached a screenshot showing how it looks. We could probably adjust the HTML e-mail templates too (WEB-INF\classes\templates\email\html\includes\summary-topleft.vm), but that isn't really an issue for me.

Hey Anton.. just curious why the attachment icon for my attachment shows as HTML when it has a .jsp extension.

Anton Mazkovoi [Atlassian] added a comment - 04/Apr/06 06:55 PM
Neal,

I believe the content type of the file is determined from the browser that uploads the file. Looks like the browser told JIRA that the file is a html file. Maybe on your PC the JSp files are treated as HTML files?

Thanks,
Anton

I've uploaded my customized version for 3.6.3 in case anyone wants it.
