The "Traffic Lights" custom field provides a visually intuitive way to signal the status of tasks, issues, or projects at a glance. Just like traffic signals guide us on the road, this field employs a color-coded system for example to communicate the state of items within your Jira instance. Whether you're tracking task completion, monitoring project health, or simply want a more efficient way to communicate within your team, the "Traffic Lights" custom field is a versatile tool that adds clarity and simplicity to your Jira experience.
