Background
On one of our Trello boards (3 team members), we standardized on 5 labels. Historically, duplicate labels were created, later removed, and confirmed deleted at the board level.
However, these old labels periodically reappear without being manually recreated.
Context:
- Cards are frequently moved across boards
When a card is moved from another board, it appears to bring labels with it
This sometimes results in re-introducing labels that no longer exist (or should not exist) on the destination board
Questions:
When cards are moved across boards, do labels get inherited or recreated automatically?
Is it expected behavior that labels from a source board are reintroduced into the destination board?
Is there a way to enforce labels strictly at the board level, so moved cards retain their label assignments only if the label already exists on the destination board?
If not, are there best practices to prevent deleted or deprecated labels from reappearing?
User Feedback (unsolicited)
Labels should be board-scoped.
Cards moved across boards may retain label metadata, but labels themselves should not be auto-created or resurrected on the destination board.
