Stability Level Long-Term

When creating dashboards, you can include labels, but you may have only ten labels for each. So you may want to delete some labels when you have the maximum. Use the removeDashboardLabels() GraphQL mutation to remove labels from a dashboard. It will return the updated dashboard, if successful — null with errors, if not.

There is not a mutation for changing labels. Instead, you'll have to use this mutation and then use addDashboardLabels() to add new labels.

For more information on dashboards, see the Dashboards documentation page. To manage labels through the UI, see the Manage Triggers page of the main documentation.

Syntax

graphql
removeDashboardLabels(
      input: RemoveDashboardLabels!
   ): Dashboard!

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

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