How can I find the list of labels being used in a project?

[Rohit Bhalla]

I need to find the list of labels being used in the project. Some suggested to use the gadgets but i cant find the gadgets(maybe they are not enabled) to get the list, can someone suggest a better way.

It is called Labels Gadget. You can add it to your dashboard and filter labels for a project in the settings of the gadget.

Usually Jira does not load all gadgets when you try to add a gadget. there is a button on the adding screen "Load all gadgets". Click it.

this is super cool! Thank you!

Labels Gadget lists all the labels used in the project. How to search labels listed in issuetype = Test only?

Thanks!

[Coley Anderson]

@Yunhua Hu   you can always just do a normal search and use a jql like:

issuetype = test and labels is not EMPTY

You can save that filter, use it in a dashboard or just export your results 

*to note - this does not mean that some of the labels are NOT used in other types as well, so be mindful of that*

[Coley Anderson]

you could also just do a filter, if you didn't want to build a Dashboard.

Query would be similar to this:

Project = "ProjectName" and labels != EMPTY

You can limit the columns to whatever you want/don't want to see, and voila. Quick and easy, you can export it if you want to csv, etc.

In my case exporting didn't work with a "403 - Forbidden" error saying that at most 2000 results are allowed - while I had more. So, I needed to split the result by doing two searches

project = MyProject and labels is not EMPTY and key < MyProject-2000

followed by

project = MyProject and labels is not EMPTY and key >= MyProject-2000

Of course, this also required me to manually merge the results from both exports.

[adambadura]

Also, export to CSV seems easier than Excel as it internally splits multi-label cases in columns, so that I ended up with columns "Labels", "Labels_1", "Labels_2", etc. and each column contained only on label.

Of course, only "Labels" always contained a label. With "Labels_1", etc. there were empty fields if the ticket didn't have that many labels set.

You can get a list of all labels as json file from the REST API, see the answers in this thread:

This might work for Jira Cloud, but I don't think that API exists for Jira Server?

No mention of "labels" anywhere on this page: https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/9.5.0/

There is a hard-code solution - SQL query to database.
