Is there a way to change or delete a label?

Michelle Kha April 9, 2024

Hi, is there a work around to change or delete a label?  I ended up creating so many labels that are not needed.  What's the reason for prohibiting users from editing a label?  Thanks.

Hello @Michelle Kha

I have run into this issue before. There is currently no way of updating/editing a label on Jira cloud.

However a workaround I've found useful is creating filters with the wrong labels, and bulk editing the issues to use the correct one, or completely removing them.

Once you have removed the incorrect labels from all issues, they will be removed from the system. Atlassian has defined the workaround I mentioned here: How-to-delete-a-label-in-jira.

I hope this is helpful!

Hi @Michelle Kha ,

 

If the label is no longer use in issues then it will be deleted.

You can check the altassian support doc: How-to-delete-a-label-in-jira
