KristofZ zalu_de Hello! If you open up a task (click on the task) and hover over the side of the details pop up (where the labels are), you can change the names of the labels. Please let me know if this helps!

Thank you for your feedback - we are improving our labels experience - you can follow along here.

jackieduong - thank you for the image.

I am still struggling with this because my labels do not stick out to the side as in this image. I have to choose "labels" from the 3-dots menu and I cannot find any way to edit the names of the labels at this time. Hovering over one of the labels just shows the name in a small white tool-tip box. Clicking applies the label. I cannot find any way to edit. I am using Planner in Edge. Any suggestions? I wonder if it has changed since 2020.

Thanks for suggesting this. Makes sense that an impoverished startup, just trying to scrap together an MVP, would have a hacky workaround like "use the iPhone app even if you're on Edge."
