Hi, Just like in TP, entity icons should show initials of type name. For example, User Story should show “US” in the icon. Thanks! Shafqat ---

Feeling the need for this all the time. TP has this feature. ---

Hi @mdubakov, this is really a very essential feature - is it possible to fast track this one? Without this, views where several types are shown and also cards where several types are shown as units have no indication of what unit is which type. Thanks! ---

@Shafqat_Ullah Can you post a screenshot where this gets confusing without type initials? ---

And for the same good reasons the initial-based type “icons” are there in TP. Very useful visual cue. Just color codes doesn’t really help much on its own. ---

@Shafqat_Ullah That makes sense. I’ve added User Story into backlog for the nearest future. Hope 1-2 weeks. ---
