Feature request: Highlight cards with important labels #7319

Open

Description

@Koc

In our organization certain tasks or cards need to stand out more than others — e.g. urgent tasks, blocker tickets, or items requiring immediate attention. Currently, Deck supports labeling cards, but there is no built-in mechanism to visually emphasize cards marked as “important” based on labels.

Without this, many users must resort to workarounds (e.g. prefixing label names with “! ” or “High”, manually applying a special “urgent” label) or rely on memory.

Having a native “important label flag → visual highlight” feature would simplify user workflows and reduce overhead in managing priority.

Here an example how can it looks visually

This PR created to collect feedback first before an actual implementation (as suggested here #7218 (review) )

    as someone with many many tags this feature would be a little useful.

    I like the Idea!
    A way to implement it "dynamically" may be to give the "TAG" the option (e.g. just a checkbox), to be an highlighting-tag.
    If checkbox is ticked, the color of the Tag (how-ever-it's-named) will be used to highlight the card in the List.
