How to display the Priority name instead of the Priority icon in the Filter Result dashboard gadget:
Environment
All versions of Jira Core 8.x and 9.x.
Solution
This is not an out-of-the-box feature in Jira. The feature request JRASERVER-66437 has been created requesting this enhancement.
As a workaround, you can achieve this by modifying the priority-columnview.vm file to display the priority name.
Locate $<installation directory>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/templates/jira/issue/field/priority-columnview.vm
Modify priority-columnview.vm as follows:
From:
<img src="$iconurl.get()" height="16" width="16" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="$textutils.htmlEncode($priority.get().getNameTranslation(), false)" title="$textutils.htmlEncode($priority.get().getNameTranslation(), false) - $textutils.htmlEncode($!priority.get().getDescTranslation(), false)">To:
<img src="$iconurl.get()" height="16" width="16" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="$textutils.htmlEncode($priority.get().getNameTranslation(), false)" title="$textutils.htmlEncode($priority.get().getNameTranslation(), false) - $textutils.htmlEncode($!priority.get().getDescTranslation(), false)"> $textutils.htmlEncode($!priority.get().nameTranslation, false)Restart Jira.
Verify that the Priority Name is reflected in the gadget:
