Using the Label Manager Custom Field Type

You can create Label Manager items to be used for all projects (globally) or you can create them for a specific project.

Add global Label Manager item(s)

  1. As Jira Administrator: Settings → Apps → 'Label Manager - Global Settings'

  2. Select the Label Manager custom field you want to configure → Click Select

  3. Decide what 'Label Color Setting' the field should use. For more details check Label Color Documentation

  4. Add one or multiple label at once using the text input field: Add label item(s)

Use a comma and space seperated list to add multiple label items at once. Example:

label1, label2, label3

Filter, Rename, Merge and Delete Global Label Items

  • Updating Global Label Items will update the label item on every issue that it is selected as long as the project is using global configuration (default).

  • This will trigger the “Update Issue” event and Jira will sent Emails based on Notification settings.

  • The updating task may continue in the background if too many issues (>1000) need to be updated.

 

Filter Global Label Item

Use the free text search field to filter the displayed label items.

Fuzzy search is enabled to assist you in finding related labels.

Example: ‘label’ finds ‘lable’, ‘Lale’

The search is case insensitive and will return labels even if you only search for parts of the label.

Example

Search text: ‘sydney’ will return label ‘Sydney-Team

Notes

Maximal 1000 labels are displayed at once, use the filter function to display specific labels outside that scope.

  2. In the modal-dialog edit the label and click Submit

Merge Global Label Items

  2. In the modal-dialog select the label you want to merge into and click Submit


Delete Global Label Items

  2. In the modal-dialog, confirm the deletion which will remove the label item as selectable option as well as remove the label from any issue it is currently selected and uses global settings. Click Delete
