I created a new plan and it came with the Default 6 color Labels for tasks. I do not need that many. How do I delete the unwanted colors/options? I can only find information on editing labels or how to add them to a task.

    Hi E Pangborn,

    Thank you for choosing our products. And please accept my apology for the inconvenience caused by the problem.

    According to my research and tests, currently, it may not be able to delete/add labels in Planners. As you mentioned we are only supported to edit and add them to a task now. For this information: Flag your tasks with labels - Office 365 (microsoft.com)

    I really understand your feelings. So, to address your concerns, I would recommend you vote and leave your comment in this similar User Voice thread: Delete labels – Planner Customer Feedback (uservoice.com) Since that UserVoice forum is monitored by related programing Teams. So, it is a good way to let them know your concerns directly. If this idea is popular, it may be more likely to be implemented in the future.

    We highly apricate your understandings and efforts.

    Best Regards,

    May

    Need the ability to delete labels, specifically when we edit the name and want to remove and not use.

    This feature needs to be added. I have a group of over 80 members and this causes much confusion across the org when attempting to sort by labels

    Even the ability to select those labels that are in use rather than all labels. When you Group by Labels I do not want to see labels if they have no tasks and I am not using them.

    Also looking for this functionality - it's awkward as a Product Owner to run a filter on labels and have a dozen unused labels scattered among the used labels. The option to delete or add (unlikely to need more personally) would be most welcome. Thanks.
