Creating Labels

Section titled “Creating Labels”

  3. Enter the name and select the color of the new label.

  4. Define if the label should be exclusive or not.

    Screenshot of the "Labels" management view under the "Issues" tab in a STACKIT Git repository. The interface shows an empty label state stating "0 labels" and "No labels exist yet." It provides a dropdown menu to select a "Default" label preset containing standard bug, duplicate, or enhancement options, finalized by a yellow "Use label preset" button at the bottom and a "New label" button in the upper right.

Organization-wide Labels

Section titled “Organization-wide Labels”

You can define organization-wide labels that are shared with all organization repositories, including both already-existing repositories as well as newly created ones. Organization-wide labels can be created in the organization Settings.

Label Sets

Section titled “Label Sets”

When you create a repository (or an organization), you can ensure certain labels exist by using the Issue Labels option. This option lists a number of available label sets that are configured globally on your instance.
