Rename labels on taks
Hi all, happy new year.
I can not rename labels from a task in Planner, they always came back to default. Any help?
Thanks.

- Coming in late on this as it seems to be one of the few threads on it. I've finally discovered how to do it and what was happening on my M365 for Planner.
What didn't work:
Clicking on the edit icon (Pencil) when searching for a label to add through the label search bar and typing in a new name didn't work. The edits were never saved for me.
What worked:
Add in a coloured label you want to use > clicking on the label name then brings up the Edit option > Changing the name. This time, the edits DID get saved.john_sia , Thank you. This fixed the issue for me
Rogerio Ernesto I was having the same problem. Every time I changed a label it would revert back to the original. I know it sounds dumb, but I refreshed my browser page and it was fixed.
I had the same issue, when trying to rename labels from within Planner.
I tried several times, but they always reverted to default Label 1, 2 etc
But when I tried from within Teams (Planner tab), it worked and the labels were saved.
Not sure if the issue comes from the way the plan was created: From Teams, vs from Planner and attached in Teams
I'm not even able to edit a label - i'm on Office for Mac.
I didn't create the teams/ workspaces, but I am designated owner of several and haven't been able to edit any labels.
Is this a mac issue?
I get the same problem. According to the documentation, this should be possible, but every time I rename a label, it just goes back to default (Label 1, Label 2 etc).

- Thanks Juan, I can not rename tags, I type a new name but it just not 'save', and also not see how to add tags. I´m a brand new user and appreciate any help. Regards.
- Indeed you cannot rename labels in Planner, what you can do is just add Tags to your labels...you mean you are not able to add tags?
How do I add tags to the labels? This is my first day in teams Planner so I am still making my way around the GUI. Thanks.
- But you should be able to.

Note that you need to open a task and look at the details of it. Then on the right-hand side you will see the colours representing the labels. When you hoover your mouse pointer over a label, it expands and you are able to give the label a new name.
