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

Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for your feedback and sharing how you use labels. We’ve been working on improving our labels experience, and will continue to do so. With that, we are working on increasing the number of labels that you can use in Planner!

1) How do you use labels to organize your work?
- Labels/Categories/Tags - all the same. It's the ability to organize and FILTER that's critical. If we want to see all tasks by (Insert Lable(s) Here).......
2) How many labels do you need?
- As many as we can get without impacting performance
3) Would you like an ability to customize colors? If so, how would you use it?
- Yes - Not critical but helpful for a quick visual.
4) How would you like labels to appear on task cards?
- As they do now would be fine.
5) Is there anything else would you like to add in regards to labels?
- Using multiple labels is really the only way to organize tasks when the system doesn't provide the field or feature you need. It's almost mandatory if the system doesn't allow custom fields.
- We would like to also see a "global" label that would reach across all of our planners. -

This would be really useful. The current limit is too... limiting.

still working on it?!
1) How do you use labels to organize your work?
As a small startup (5 people) we have only one board. the buckets are relative to different parts of business (app dev, design, business dev, sales, etc) and labels will be used to mark subprojects
2) How many labels do you need?
infinite (5 x 5+)
3) Would you like an ability to customize colors? If so, how would you use it?
definitely, colors could be relative to projects, shades to subprojects. light blue, blue, dark blue all subprojects of app development, for example
4) How would you like labels to appear on task cards?
As it is now
5) Is there anything else would you like to add in regards to labels?
...... just do it -

There must be a possibility to add more labels. The limitation to 6 is an unnecessary restriction which makes working with Planner impossible for some tasks. Please implement this point urgently.
