Function to add more Labels

Sometimes the Labels are not enough, for example if you use it to tag different departments or functions

    More Labels please!!! It would be useful to be able to customise an unlimited number for grouping tasks but at least 20 - 30 would be good.

    1) How do you use labels to organize your work?
    Select the area (Security, quality, internal or external audit) ...
    2) How many labels do you need?
    Preferably unlimited, but at least 50
    3) Would you like an ability to customize colors? If so, how would you use it?
    Yes, absolutely !
    4) How would you like labels to appear on task cards?
    Would be nice to be able to configure whether a label is shown on the small card in the overview by default or only on the full/opened card.
    5) Is there anything else would you like to add in regards to labels?
    To have global labels, usable between different teams and planner boards.

    We need a number comparable to other Kanban planning boards please - round up to 10!

    I was able to rename labels, but they don't show up on the task (card).

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    the labels that exist only reference colors - I need to rename the labels and unable to do this today. For example - RED= Critical

    I agree, it could be nice to have more labels.

    1. We use labels for identifying which working area is responsible for the individual tasks
    2. I also think at least 20 labels would be helpful, but why not make it possible for the user to decide how many?
    3. Maybe have a color wheel where the user can user the color that fit the label.

    Hi,

    It would be very much useful and helpful if more labels are added as it enables us with more options to plan.

    To answer the above:

    1. We use labels for tagging multiple teams/areas teams work on while planning their roadmap.
    2. I think at least 20 labels would be helpful.
    3. We have tagged a code to each color. Customizing colors would be great as we have more options.
    Please consider.

    Thank you!

    Regards

    Hey,
    1. Separate workstreams (subgroups, sub-responsibilities)
    2. No more than 10 ATM.
    3. Not really, but I would definitely give them names. Like "quality" instead of "blue".
    4. Extended view with the name of the label.
    5. nope

    1) How do you use labels to organize your work?
    Indicate the project the task belongs to. Set custom task properties, such as complexity, endresult etc
    2) How many labels do you need?
    Preferably unlimited, but at least 25 would be nice
    3) Would you like an ability to customize colors? If so, how would you use it?
    Would be nice so that labels are easier to notice but not required.
    4) How would you like labels to appear on task cards?
    Would be nice to be able to configure whether a label is shown on the small card in the overview by default or only on the full/opened card.
    5) Is there anything else would you like to add in regards to labels?
    Ability to categorize labels so they can be easier found when a large number of labels are used.

    More labels would be great, but why not just enable tags? They are way more flexible and essentially unlimited in most implementations.

    Love labels, but keep running out! Need ability to create as many as we want, would rather have limited colors vs. limited no. of labels. Colors aren't as important as quantity of labels. Thanks!
