After completing a Sprint, I would like to add automation to categorize it by automatically adding a label. I do not see this option currently available. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible to add automation to categorize a sprint by automatically adding a label after completing the sprint.
To do this, you can use the Create automation rule feature in Jira.
To create an automation rule to automatically add a label to a sprint after completing the sprint, follow these steps:
- Go to Jira Settings > Automation.
- Click Create automation rule.
- In the Trigger section, select Sprint completed.
- In the Conditions section, you can add conditions to the rule, such as checking the status of the sprint or the sprint name.
- In the Actions section, select Add label.
- Select the label that you want to add to the sprint.
- Click Save. Once you have created the automation rule, it will be triggered whenever a sprint is completed.
- The automation rule will then add the selected label to the sprint.

Here is an example of an automation rule that will automatically add the label "Completed" to a sprint after the sprint is completed:

@Peter_DevSamurai  thank you for your reply, much appreciated! I do not see the condition you have mentioned above of " such as checking the status of the sprint or the sprint name.". The only options I have are below:

Advanced compare condition
Compares two values:
{{issue.status.name}} equals Done
If / else block
Perform different actions using if, else-if and else to control the flow.
Issue attachments
Checks if issue attachments exist or don't exist
Issue fields condition
Check whether an issue's field meets a certain criteria
JQL condition
Checks if issue matches JQL:
priority > Medium
Related issues condition
Check if related issues exist or match JQL.
User condition
User matches criteria:
Reporter in group 'customers'
