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

    So it looks like the label selection option was updated to allow for more than 6 labels, having a search feature and the ability to see multiple labels easily on the cards, but if I type a label name that doesn't exist, there is still no option to add it. It would appear that the layout is all ready for this option - any update on when we'll see it go live? As for customizing colors, yes, the Microsoft color picker with the same Office suite color themes would be great. I have clients with different color branding and would use the labels in their primary brand color to organize.

    Original post 4 years ago?? And still no ability to add more labels? Interesting...

    Haha, this is so Microsoft... Try hard, fail fast. I am confused how MS continously fails to copy and implement great features from others fand falls short. Hilarious.

    12 January 2021 - is there an update on when we will have more labels?
    Having to use buckets instead of labels is clunky and messy and makes the user experience for our teams less enjoyable.

    More labels are needed to be able to utilise Planner more effectively. When will this be available?

  • Lee commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Definitely need more labels as we have more divisions than the simple six. Also open up the color choice as we have our orgs and other main subjects already assigned colors that don't align with the simple choices. Please and thank you!

    This is so limiting, I recently updated my labels in OneNote and Outlook. Because this isn't available in Planner, I'm switching to using Trello.

    The option to add more labels is a needed addition to help make this product usable in more circumstances. Any feedback if/when the ability to add more labels will be available?

    6 is definitely not enough, ideally it should be fully flexible as there is different situations where you need different lables.
