It is called Labels Gadget. You can add it to your dashboard and filter labels for a project in the settings of the gadget.

Usually Jira does not load all gadgets when you try to add a gadget. there is a button on the adding screen "Load all gadgets". Click it.

Labels Gadget lists all the labels used in the project. How to search labels listed in issuetype = Test only?

Thanks!

@Yunhua Hu   you can always just do a normal search and use a jql like:

issuetype = test and labels is not EMPTY

You can save that filter, use it in a dashboard or just export your results 

*to note - this does not mean that some of the labels are NOT used in other types as well, so be mindful of that*

you could also just do a filter, if you didn't want to build a Dashboard.

Query would be similar to this:

Project = "ProjectName" and labels != EMPTY

 

You can limit the columns to whatever you want/don't want to see, and voila. Quick and easy, you can export it if you want to csv, etc.

You can get a list of all labels as json file from the REST API, see the answers in this thread:

This might work for Jira Cloud, but I don't think that API exists for Jira Server?

No mention of "labels" anywhere on this page: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/9.5.0/

There is a hard-code solution - SQL query to database.
