What is the difference between label and keywords?

[ivanelson]

In the Jira Server form, there are the fields: label and keyword; They seem to have the same purpose.

Who can exemplify a context of use of these 02 terms ?!

Keyword is not a standard field, I would guess it is a custom field one of your admins has added for some reason.  I'd want to ask the project owners what it is for and why it's different to labels.

I didn't create this field! I am the administrator.  :D
Perhaps the responsible for this is some complement. In which I do not know. I'll investigate.

A screenshot (of the field title and where it shows up on an issue, not the contet), might tell us more about what it is.  But I'd not worry about that until I'd done the investigations you mention - I'm pretty sure you'll find the answer there.

You're absolutely right! Jira does not show the field creator's log or history. I am to blame, this field was an inheritance from Trac System .

It was mostly a guess, but the unfamiliar name of the field lead us down a route that got to it.  I'm glad the (rather vague) pointer got you a good answer!
