Labels - Why do Labels in one project show in others?

Misty Meyers

Hello!
I am struggling with the way the Labels field in Jira seems to behave. I just know there has to be a way to fix the issue. 

Problem: When in Test Summary for Zephyr, I see every Label created in all our Jira Projects. (Sadly there is a ton of noise!) Why do I see labels from project A when I am in project B?  I have to add specific label values every time to only see those relevant to project B.

What am I missing in my set-up or am I?

Thank you!

Labels are not project artefacts, they are global objects.

Sorry, that was a bit short. 

If you want project-specific labels, you can add more labels fields and limit the context of them to just the project that should be using the labels for.

If you want to control the list of labels though, don't use labels fields, go for a (multi-)select-list instead.
