This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to merge labels using the Enhanced Labels for Jira.
1. Merging Labels
1.1. Prerequisites
Ensure you have the necessary permissions to merge labels within the project.
Confirm that at least two labels exist to merge.
Navigate to the project's Label Manager page.
1.2. How to Merge Labels
Access the Label Manager:
Navigate to your Jira project.
In the project sidebar, locate and click on Label Manager.
Select Labels to Merge:
In the Label Manager Ops, you'll see a list of existing labels.
Use the checkboxes next to each label to select the labels you intend to merge.
Initiate the Merging Process:
After selecting the desired labels, click the Merge button located at the top of the label list.
Confirm and Edit the New Label:
A merge modal will appear.
In the modal, you'll find a field to input the new label name that will replace the merged labels.
Enter the desired name for the new merged label.
Complete the Merge:
Click on the Merge button within the modal to proceed.
Completion:
Upon successful merging, you'll be redirected to the bulk operation process page.
A success message will confirm that the selected labels have been successfully merged.
1.3. Constraints
Merging labels is irreversible. Ensure the labels selected for merging and the new label name are accurate before proceeding.
Only users with the appropriate permissions can merge labels. If you lack the necessary permissions, contact your project administrator.
1.4. Potential Issues
Insufficient Permissions: If you encounter a permission error, verify your access rights or consult with your project administrator.
Non-existent Labels: Attempting to merge labels that don't exist or have already been deleted will result in an error. Refresh the Label Manager to view the current list of labels.
By following these steps, you can efficiently merge labels within your Jira project using the Enhanced Labels for Jira app.
