Labels may be included with stored actions, but you may have only ten labels per action. As a result, you may want to eliminate some labels as your use of them progresses. Use the removeActionLabels() GraphQL mutation to remove labels from an action.

There's no mutation for changing labels. Instead, you'll have to use this mutation and then use addActionLabels() to add new labels.

To manage action labels through the UI, see the Manage Actions section of the main documentation.

Syntax

graphql
removeActionLabels(
      input: RemoveActionLabels!
   ): Action!

For the input, you have to give the name of the view or repository, and the unique identifier of the action from which you want to remove labels (click on Show Query below). Last, you'll have to provide within square-brackets, a comma-separated list of labels to remove.

For the return datatype, you can get details on the action, including a list of labels for it. See the Returned Datatype section farther down this page.

Given Datatype

For this input datatype, you'll have to give the unique identifier of the action, and name of the related view or repository, and the labels you want to remove from the action, in a comma-separated list within square-brackets. Click on the Show Query link under the Syntax section above for an example of how to get the action identifiers.

Table: RemoveActionLabels

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultStabilityDescription
Some arguments may be required, as indicated in the Required column. For return datatypes, this indicates that you must specify which fields you want returned in the results.

Returned Datatype

With the returned datatype, you can get a list allowed actions, when the action was created and modified last and by whom, and other items. Below is a list of the return parameters you can specify. Be sure to include the labels parameter so you can see the results of your removal, in case there are others you want to eliminate or some you want to add.
