Is it possible to add formatting to a custom journal entry in the activities (filtered) stream?

[AllegedCanadian]

Good day,

I have added a custom type of Journal entry to issue corrections in incident records. As an additional way to bring these corrections to the attention of our users, I would like to change the colour of the bar on the left side of the activity.

Currently field edits are given a gray bar, comments a black one and work notes a yellow one. Is there a way for me to change this one to red?

HI @AllegedCanadian 

Please provide some screenshot to understand your requirement more,.

For some reason I couldn't before, but this should be it.

Hi @AllegedCanadian 

I doubt we can change, as it core code and changing may impact others. ( It can be done via DOM manipulation, which is not recommended)

Hi @AllegedCanadian 

Intresting work ! Wish I could see a edit button to modify comments....  

But, 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:

So to your custom journal entry you can create or update such properties to set the color codes..

I hope this helps...
