Hello,

Can I lock down the issue labels in JIRA to a specific few?  and also can i delete labels from the dropdown list once they appear in?

Thanks,

Not really, the point of labels is that users can enter them.

If you want to limit them to a fixed list, drop the labels field and add a "multi select" custom field with your pre-defined list of options.  You'll also be able to disable/rename/delete those options.
