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.
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.
It looks like it doesn't work, but if you hover over the label tab and just start typing, it will accept the new label
It looks like you can rename labels, but only if they aren't used! If they are associated with any tasks, they revert to the previous name as noted above.
- OK, it's not quite that simple - it depends where in the app you are (I'm using the web app). If you are in the board view, group by labels, and trying to change the labels at the head of the columns then what I said above applies. However, if you are in a task, you can click on the coloured blog on the top right border of the task and from there you can change the label whether it is applied to tasks or not.
