Filter by label in Recent Updates macro doesn't give me label options

[Alison Mani]

In the Confluence Recent Updates macro, Display tab, I want to filter by label, but no labels appear from which to choose.

@Alison Mani Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Are saying that, when you start typing the text of a label, no matching suggestions appear for you to select? 

According to the page on the Recent Updates macro (https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-recent-updates-macro/), you need to:

Search and select specific labels to filter the results in your list, so only content with the designated labels will display.

Note: labels can only be applied to pages and blog posts.

Thanks for the reply. For some reason, I expected a drop-down menu to appear with all my labels to choose from. I finally realized that I have to type something in. :-)
