Changing the colour indicators of Journal fields and corresponding Activity sections

Hey experts. I'm trying to change the colour indicator of a newly created Journal field and it's corresponding Activity section. Work Notes appears yellow on both, Comments as dark grey in the Activity as is my new field. How do I modify the colours for my new field? I found this article but it doesn't seem to work, perhaps because the Journal fields changed in Jakarta (Geneva?): How Can I Change the background color of a particular activity in the Activity Formatter?

There are System Properties for that. They are named "glide.ui.activity_stream.style.field_name", where field_name is the name of the field you want to have a highlight.

The default value for comments is "transparent". For the example below, the System Properties are set to the following:

Sorry, just saw your reply now. Like you said, this is a for a fixed value and doing it dynamically is not possible this way.

I don't know if you've come up with something, but you could do it by creating new fields and based on approval or rejection, push the comments into one of the new fields. Not pretty maybe, but an easy way around it.
