Changing The Names Next To Symbols

Benjamin O'Leary

Hello,

I am trying to create a "Priority" column, where colored symbols have text descriptions (see below image):

Is there a way to change the text next to the colors? So instead of saying 'Red', it says 'Critical'?

Thank You,

Benjamin

Hi @Benjamin O'Leary

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• You can use other symbols using UNICHAR, CHAR, or Emojis combined with the text you'd want to show.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

I used emojis + words, it works perfect!

Has this improvement been already implemented so that we don't need to do the workarounds?
