How can I automatically apply labels to issues when they reach a certain column?

Question

I'd like to automatically apply label(s) to issues whenever they reach a certain column in the workflow, for example, "release blocker" to all issues that have been merged into mainline but not yet tested, so I can keep track of them if they get rejected in testing and need to go through another round of development.

Is it possible to configure columns to apply labels to issues when they get moved into that column?

@Andrew Brown I just tried this out using swimlane queries to keep track of issues that were previously Resolved and this worked well when moving from one sprint to the next.  Could you provide more details about how you're using the filter with your board?  Are you using swimlanes or card colors?

Actually, this worked perfectly until starting a new sprint with issues that were not completed during the last one. Those issues no longer filter in with "status was Merged" if they were only in Merged last sprint. Thanks though.

This worked perfectly for my use-case. Thank you!
