Add End of Day break customization options like Start of Day banners!

in progress

Darren Devlin

I wanted to edit the text colour for the End of Day banner the same way I did for the Start of Day but the options for customizing just the one banner don't appear the same way they do for the other banners when I select them from the stripboard.

Hey Darren Devlin this is actually intended functionality -- the Start of Day banners have their own customization options that are different from the End of Day Breaks -- you can customize colors for SoD and EoD in the Color Palette Manager, and then make and adjustments to the layout of the End of Day Break itself via the Layouts Manager.

Herman Phillips ah, if it's not a bug then this might be a missing feature request? 
Editing things with the colour palette manager appears to change the colours for all my End of Day banners across all boards in the project. I just wanted to change the text in two of the text boxes from white to black to hide it on just the one end of day banner on the one board. 
Ultimately, what I'm trying to do is create a chronological one-line report, but I don't seem to be able to generate a report unless I place a day start and a day end on the board. But I don't want the report to say start of day or end of day because it's just the strips in order, so to work around this I edited the text to be black to hide it on the start of day banner but I can't do the same for the end of day banner.

Darren Devlin: Got it! Then I think this would be covered by another request, which is to allow report creation without day breaks! Or, are you saying that you need color customizations for day breaks besides this? Thanks!

Darren Devlin

Herman Phillips Lol, maybe both?
Adding colour customizations for day breaks would probably be useful depending how people want to use it and potentially a quicker fix for working around the existing way creating reports works.  
But yes, ultimately I want to be able to create a report without day breaks! :D
I don't know how common it is with other AD teams, but the people I work with ALWAYS want a chronological report for the one-liner and shooting schedule. The Hair, Make-Up, and Costumes departments are also always asking me for chronological reports too.

Darren Devlin: Totally makes sense. I just edited the title of this and changed it to a request!
