Custom Field - Label Type - What is the scope of suggestions that are suggested ?

Below I am not talking about the the default field called Label on Stories/Bugs etc

I am talking about the Label Field TYPE

When I create a custom field and the type of the field is the label field type, when I start adding to the label on an actual Jira instance it will suggest from some previous label entries - these are called suggestions.

The list of suggestions - are they from a single DB source, i.e. all the labels ever typed in all label type fields from all projects (Global), or are the suggestions project scope, or even better field name based (either field name and project scope), or field name scope (transcending projects when the field is shared).

 

So for example - are suggestions global scope

Project A Bug

Release (Field Type is Label)

I type in "Hello" in this Release field- this will result in "Hello" being added as a new label

 

Project B Bug

Customer (Field Type is Label)

I type in "H" - it will suggest "Hello" - from Project A Release

 

are suggestions project scope

Project A Bug

Release (Field Type is Label)

I type in "Hello" in this Release field- this will result in "Hello" being added as a new label

Customer (Field Type is Label)

"H" - it will suggest "Hello" - from Release Field

 

or are they field scope (transcending project)

 

PROJECT A

Release (Field Type is Label)

I type in "Hello" in this Release field- this will result in "Hello" being added as a new label

 

PROJECT B 

Release (Field Type is Label)

I type in "H" in this Release field- this will result in "Hello" being suggested from Release A above

 

or are they local project field scope 

 

PROJECT A

Release (Field Type is Label)

I type in "Hello" in this Release field- this will result in "Hello" being added as a new label

 

PROJECT A 

Release (Field Type is Label)

I type in "H" in this Release field- this will result in "Hello" being suggested from Release A above

 

PROJECT B

Release (Field Type is Label)

I type in "H" in this Release field- this will NOT result in "Hello" being suggested from Release Project A above

 

Thanks
