nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How do I write an automation to delete all labels on a page?

Paul Rathgeb

I'm trying to figure out how to delete all labels on a page when a trigger occurs. I see a way to delete specific labels, but is there a way to delete all of them?

If it's NOT possible to create this automation, is there a way to restrict a space so that only specific Users can create labels?

Thank you!

Hi @Paul Rathgeb

As per the documentation what you can try is use the "Remove Label" Action (https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/actions-in-confluence-automation),

with the page.labels smart value (https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/smart-values-in-confluence-automation/#hardBreak).

Let me know if this works.

It appears that neither directly nor through a third-party app, that it is possible to control the use of labels. Such a pity. Labels could be very powerful, but given their implementation by Atlassian, the likelihood of clutter to the point of uselessness is very high. It would be great if we could better control and manage their use.

Hey @Paul Rathgeb

So you want to "Delete" the label altogether, and not just remove them from a certain page? Is that the use case you're targeting here?

Paul Rathgeb

Very close. The use case is: WHEN a trigger occurs, THEN remove all labels from the page.

I don't necessarily know what the labels are, but I know I want them all removed.

Another approach would be to simply limit who is allowed to add labels, but so far the resounding answer is, that's not possible.
