Display labels on the backlog view on Jira next-gen project

[Robert Masur]

Hi all,

I am wondering whether there is a way to display the labels of issues in the backlog view for a Jira Next-Gen project. 

As labels are a second dimension next to epics to group items, having the labels displayed in the backlog view would improve the sprint planning and backlog grooming experience.

I know that I can filter on labels but I'd like to see all labels that are in a current sprint/backlog at a glance.

Thanks,

Robert

One vote to add this capability - Displaying labels in the backlog list view helps organize issues because it's much easier to scan the issues and group them by label in a list view
