Clearly display closed issues in epic tree
Problem
It's difficult for users to easily discern what items are closed vs open quickly in epic list views. How might we better differentiate between open and closed items, simplifying this experience?
-
Closed issues, get a "closed" status wording on it.. similar to issue lists.
-
Closed issues, get a grey background.. similar to issue lists.
-
The "closed" wording is positioned at the end of the row, making it really easy to spot across multiple issues
-
Closed issues will be placed at the bottom, the order will be as close as they are originally added to the epic.
Design
Solution
Closed items will go to the end of the list and have the soft gray background found in Projects and Groups list views. In the case of nested lists, these items will also go to the bottom of that nested list, not the end of the overall list. Currently we are using colors and icons to show lists vs epics and open/closed, but there are solutions being worked on to change that.
