Great stuff!

But how does one set the cell color with Automation? The history page on an issue does not differentiate the cell color in any way in terms of text formatting. Unlike Panels, which are color coded with 

panel:bgColor=#e3fcef

, for example.

Hey all 👋

I'm Rory, a Product Manager from the editor team. Thank you all for your feedback on this suggestion - we really appreciate it.

I'm excited to let you know that the ability to change cell background colours has now been shipped 🎉

In addition to this, there are also a number of other tables improvements rolling out now, including; drag-and-drop for rows and columns, table resizing, and more table alignment options.

We hope you enjoy these!

Thanks,

Rory

Thank You!

What I have noticed:

When You create a new issue (in creation screen) and copy and paste from Excel 365 (Web) to Jira Cloud Description field, cell colors are preserved. So it appears, the backend supports this already. 

When You copy&paste into existing tickets however, colors are not applied from Excel Web.

It would be very much appreciated to get full support for this.

Would be really useful!

Why do we have to wait so many years for such a small thing?

Atlassian owns both products (Jira and Confluence). They did not acquire these products/companies. They own the code that makes this happen in Confluence. Can we not just make that happen in Jira, easily? Pretty please?

Please prioritize including this +1 Upvote here

Plus 1 for this feature! I just couldn't believe that there isn't a way to do this until I came across this ticket. How is this not already a feature?? 

Agree would like this - would actually like to be able to change the colour based on JQL - so if the cell is a RAG cell, that it changes to that colour for example

+1 Cell colors add a lot of value to the organization of tables!  Thanks
