UserVoice request - Set Data Classification while creating a group
While the Outlook and Planner endpoints are being updated, I would point your users to SharePoint Home to create Team Sites and enable the automatic group creation within the SharePoint Admin Console.
The Sharepoint Endpoint has already been updated to support classification.
I've mentioned the lack of this in Outlook on the web some months ago in another thread.
I'd be cautious giving this advice just yet. If an organization has implemented a naming policy, it is not being enforced at any service endpoint but Outlook endpoints. Once AAD Naming policy is rolled out, sure, it doesn't matter.
However, point is still valid that creation forms should be consistent across endpoints to create groups.True, this would be an issue in a self-service environment.
It isn't for us since I've locked down groups creation for now.

These data classification labels on sites should also do more than just add labels to things as well. As a specific example, these should tie back into Azure Information Protection and what protections it is putting in place on those sites and all the content contained within. Labels are great and bring some awareness to users, but automating some actual protection would go much further.
