How to edit / delete labels from Jira project

Question

Hi everyone!

In the Jira project settings I have Issue types and there each issue has a field: 'Labels'. In the past I created a list of labels and now I want to add or edit existing ones. However, I cannot find the option to do this. Could you help, please?

Thanks!
Jacek

Hi @Jacek and welcome!

To delete a label in Jira, you need to remove it from every issue referencing/using the label. You can check the usage of a label with the following JQL query:

labels = LABEL_NAME

Let me know if this helps!
