Change color of issue schedule bars on your timeline
Unless otherwise noted, the project timeline view is the same for both company-managed and team-managed projects.
On the timeline, you can change the color of parent issue’s schedule bar, which is then applied to all of its child issues. Planners often use this feature to highlight trends or emphasize pieces of work on the timeline. For example, you might want to make regular “Keeping the lights on” tasks a different color from feature work.
To change the color of schedule bars from the sidebar of the work item:
Select the work item schedule bar to open the sidebar.
Next, select the colored square next to the summary of the work item to open the picker.
Choose your color, and your change is automatically applied.
To change the color directly from the schedule bar:
Right click on the schedule bar (or hold control before clicking).
Choose a color from the menu.
