I labeled my issues with some label, but now I think I want to change the spelling of this label for all of them.How to do that for all issues marked with this label?Thank you.
Search for issues with the incorrect label, then use bulk-edit to remove it from them and add the new one.
I suppose that is not what the author was asking about. The question was how to rename the label itself, but not how to change label to another one in task details.
It's the right answer though. As you can't edit labels.
Clearing my text as the above comment, was removed.
It's a terrible system, and it's better to use custom fields. That's an indictment on its own.
Hi Aleksandr,
There is no default feature in Jira to edit labels. One workaround is to do bulk edit mentioned above. However, if you want an easier to use interface which provides overall labels management features, we have released a new add-on which does exactly that:
Advanced Label Manager Jira
This is currently available for Jira Cloud. It allows you to:
- View all labels in one place
- Number of issues under a label
- Rename or change label (which is reflected in all issues)
If you find any bugs or have questions, feel free to contact us.
Thanks
I don't normally endorse plugins that provide features Atlassian should already cater for, but this plugin is remarkably good value for the problems it solves.
Not only does it help minimise "label pollution", but can also serve as a replacement for those painful-to-manage custom fields with drop-down values that then have different values per project.
Hi Richard, glad to know that our add-on solves your problem. Please upvote my answer so that others can easily find it.
Completely agree! JIRA needs to have the functionality to manage labels and apply those changes to all instances of that label change. The current solution is unnecessarily complex.
