Hey everyone,

I am trying to understand Javascript in Odoo 11 because I want to colorize the Kanban cards based on a field holding rgba values.

I have gotten this far:

odoo.define('project_show_milestone.kanban_milestone_color', function(require){
"use strict";
var KanbanRecord = require('web.KanbanRecord');

KanbanRecord.include({        
    renderElement: function () {
        this._super.apply(this, arguments);
        if (this.recordData['ms_color'] != false) {
            //Apply the color to the record, if there is one.           
            this.$el.find('.oe_kanban_card').css("background-color", this.recordData['ms_color'] || 'green');         
            var core = require('web.core');                         alert(core._t(this.recordData['ms_color']));
         }
     }    
   });
});

The alert message, showing the field value executes fine, but the background-color is not applied.

I have no idea why...?

Could you please help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Edited for readability.
