This was my suggestion originally. Currently color-coding applies to the entire span of time in a roadmap. I was looking for a visual way to distinguish states over time. In essence, to see the information that is conveyed in the flow tab in detailed views. In particular, I asked for a special kind of state: just as there are initial states, planned states and final states, I wanted to have a Hold state, when no work was progressing, which could be visualized uniquely on a roadmap. Ideally, I'd like not just a different color - but perhaps a line rather than a bar. We have use cases for projects where the project was started but then put on hold - in a roadmap, it currently appears that these use cases are ongoing for long periods, when in fact, they have been paused.
