Change Connection Activity color if it belongs to the request you're looking at

Change Connection Activity color if it belongs to the request you're looking at

Connection

We use connection requests for a lot of different things, they are so powerful and extensible. One of the areas that is most often used is our Online Baptism Class. We track people's progress through the class with different activities. Sometimes, people will not respond to the class for a while, so automation kicks in to mark it inactive. When they enroll once more, they get a new request.

When looking at the list of activities, they are highlighted blue if they are activities from any request within the same opportunity. They show an un-highlighted color if they are from a request within a different opportunity but the same connection type (of course, only if the type is configured to show them).

What I am suggesting as an enhancement is to show the current request's activities in a different highlighted color, maybe green, to show that they are from the current request. Leaving the rest of the highlighting as-is.

For most requests, this won't seem like a big deal. But looking at specific opportunity types, like our Online Baptism Class, it would be very helpful when troubleshooting or looking at their history to see a distinction of the activities from the current request.
