How do I create a new label in jira

[cara.steinhoff]

looking to create a new label to be used when we create an issue

[Hernan Halabi - Elite IT Consulting Group]

Just by typing whatever the label needs to be on the labels field should create a new label for you. No need to be and admin or anything like that to do so.

This does not appear to work in advanced roadmaps plans.

Great Tip ! Tks

[Bryan Stutts]

If you scroll to the bottom of dropdown in the Labels field it offers to create a new label for the name you typed in the Label field.

In Jira cloud the above doesn't work.  I can type a new label but nothing works to save it.   no save button.  checkmark does nothing.   it loses the value i enter when i move on.   highly frustrating 

[Dan Kitay]

correction it does work.   Jira doesn't allow a space in the label. Once i fixed that and clicked check mark it added it.
