SSH key - update label

Question

Once an SSH access key is set up for a bitbucket repo I appreciate the key itself can't be changed but how to I change the label?

For reasons I'd rather not go in to we ended up changing one of the staging servers to be a live server, and I'd like the label to reflect this. It seems counter-intuitive to delete a working key and then re-add it just to change the label.

As far as I can see the label is independent of the key. The key has the username@hostname at the end but this doesn't have to be the same as the label, and looking though my existing working keys the label is often different :)

The key has the label at the end of it. Maybe you modified it and re uploaded. Have never tried it but you can take a look.

Not sure if there is another way to do it. Will let others chime in :)

That can't be right. In the past I've cut the key contents, deleted the key and re-created one with the pasted contents and a different label.
