Select Labels to Merge:
In the Label Manager, browse through the list of labels.
Use the checkboxes to select the labels you wish to merge. Ensure you select at least two labels.
Initiate the Merge Process:
Click on the Merge button, located at the top of the label list.
Define the New Label:
A merge modal will appear, prompting you to specify the new label name that will replace the selected labels.
Enter the desired name for the new merged label.
Additionally, on the modal window, you can add from the select list field more labels to merge.
Confirm the Merge:
Click the Merge within the modal window to proceed.
Completion:
After confirming, you will be redirected to the bulk operation process page.
A success message will confirm that the labels have been merged successfully.
1.3. Constraints
Merging labels is a significant action that cannot be undone. Ensure that the labels you are merging are appropriate to combine.
Only users with Jira administrator permissions can perform this action.
1.4. Potential Issues
Insufficient Permissions: If you encounter a permissions error, confirm your admin rights or consult with a higher-level administrator.
Duplicate Labels: If the new label name already exists, consider choosing a different name to avoid redundancy.
1.5. Understanding the Bulk Operation Progress modal
This page displays the status of ongoing bulk operations, including details such as the type of operation, progress, and any encountered issues.
It allows administrators to monitor and view bulk operations effectively, ensuring that label changes are applied globally as intended.
By following these steps, you can efficiently merge multiple labels into a single label from the admin page using the Label Enhancer for JIRA app.
