Hi,
I’m working in the Strategic Planning Workspace and created a portfolio plan with multiple goals and targets.
I added a new status choice, Blue, to the status field on both the Goal and Target tables. The option appears correctly in the status dropdown.
I then configured Blue under UX Highlighted Values so it would display as a blue data pill, consistent with the existing options—green, red, yellow, and none.
The configuration works in the following areas:
- The Goals side panel displays Blue as a blue data pill.
- A custom dashboard based on the Goals table displays Blue as a blue data pill.
However, on the main Portfolio Planning > Goals and Targets page in the Strategic Planning Workspace, Blue appears as a regular value rather than a blue data pill.
What additional configuration is required for the Blue status to display as a colored data pill on the main Goals and Targets page?
I’ve attached screenshots showing:
- Blue displayed without pill styling on the main page
- Blue displayed correctly in the Goals side panel
- Blue displayed correctly on the custom dashboard

Hi Mary,
Since Blue shows up fine in the side panel and on your dashboard, your highlighted value record is probably right. The Goals and Targets page just isn't using it the same way.
In SPW some of the planning lists decide which columns get coloured pills inside a protected script include (APWBacklogConfigImpl for the backlog lists), and the SPM status reports have their colours hard-coded as well. So a new choice can get skipped even when the highlighted value exists. I haven't confirmed the Goals and Targets page works the same way, but that's where I'd look first.
A few questions:
1. What release and SPW version are you on?
2. Which table is the Blue highlighted value on? Goals are sn_gf_goal and targets are sn_gf_goal_target. Is it on the same table and field as the existing green, red and yellow records?
3. Have you opened that page in UI Builder to see which component renders the list?
If that works for you, mind marking it as the recommended solution? Helps me support these better for the community.
