Is there a particular reason you do not wish to use a selection field to contain the enum for the color? Hopefully you know that you could make the field hidden and populated by workflow - it does not have to be a visible field or a value selected by an end user.

That information may have been helpful to understand your full options. So... You do not want to use the feature that is built into the system to do the task that you are trying to do. But you still want to do the task. So.... How about any of the following alternatives? If you only want this to work on the Mid-Tier you could: Mid-Tier ONLY) Write some custom javascript that you trigger any time the form is refreshed (good luck trapping all of those cases, so there is more custom javascript needed for that) that would alter the CSS for the rows. Mid-Tier ONLY2) You could use a column that is a display only, "HTML-ReadOnly" column and change the color of that cell, or put a colored image in the cell, in the row by using Active Links to loop over the table and set the correct HTML into the column. But if you need this to work in the User Tool then you really need to use the feature as it is designed to work. ( Which should also work for the Mid-Tier client too. :) I guess there are other approaches you could take... Submit a UI enhancement request to BMC and wait (years?) to maybe see the second way to implement this feature show up in the product. Oh.. how about this idea... This could work.... You could create your own ARS client from the ground up. That would let you do all kinds of things in your UI. If it helps you would not be the first customer to do it. However it is no small task to achieve so that you can implement table field row colors based on something other than a selection field value from the table row. (Note: The UI enhancement request might be faster (and cheaper) than this option.) Ok... I think I am totally out of ideas on this one... Anyone else know of a better way to skin this cat?
