    I also find the 6 labels very limiting... That's one reason I'm going back to Trello

    I concur with the other members here on

    1. There should be a way to add more labels and
    2. There should be a way to sort based on labels

    Is any of these being considered?

    Another vote for getting this sorted out; I am managing a team across a number of portfolios (more than 6) and am struggling to be able to effectively group tasks for accurate reporting...

    Also a problem for us. Would potentially stop us from moving across from Trello as we need to categorise and use labels in all teams and always more than 6.
