Working with Label Manager

Open

Using "managed labels"

Clicking on the custom fields opens the ‘Edit Dialog’.

Inside you find a select field. Adding and removing labels for an issue with Label Manager custom fields works the same way as other select fields in JIRA. Begin typing to find labels and click on them to select or click the ‘x' on the label to deselect one label. Clicking on the 'x’ on the right side deselects all labels.

Confirm your changes by clicking ‘Save’

There is one big difference: You can only select items which are defined by an administrator or a project administrator. So you can't create new items for Label Manager fields as a user. This allows more control for the creation of new labels items.

Searching for managed labels

Search by label item

Use JQL to search for specific label items, for example given a field "Dod" with a label-item "All-Unit-tests-passed" use:

Color search

Use JQL to search for issues that still have red labels inside the Label Manager custom field ‘DoD’ using the following syntax:

Color Options: ‘grey-light’ |' red' | ‘orange’ | ‘green’

Only search for global Or poject managed label items

In case you only want to display global or project managed labels, you can use the following syntax

Label Source Options: ‘project’ | ‘global’
