Hello Nicholas,
To add conditional formatting to your cards in Azure DevOps based on tag values, you can utilize the board settings to apply Style rules or Tag colors. This allows cards to automatically change color when specific criteria are met.
According to the official Microsoft documentation on customizing boards:
"Use style rules to highlight cards based on field values. Cards change color automatically when work items meet your specified criteria." "Set tag colors. Assign colors to specific tags for visual categorization."
Step-by-step instructions to color the entire card:
- Open your board and select the backlog level you want to customize.
- Select the gear icon (Settings) in the top right corner.
- Select Styles > + Add styling rule.
- Enter a name for your rule and choose a card color.
- Under criteria, set:
- Field:
Tags - Operator:
Contains - Value:
<Your Tag Name>
- Field:
- Select Save.
If you prefer to color-code the tag block itself rather than the whole card, you can navigate to Settings > Tag colors, add the specific tag, and assign it a color.
