Stability Level Deprecated

The removeFilterAlertLabel() GraphQL mutation is used to remove a label from a filter alert.

This mutation is deprecated since it doesn't support multiple labels. It will be removed at the earliest in version 1.273. Use instead removeFilterAlertLabels().

To add labels to a filter alert, use the addFilterAlertLabels() mutation.

To get a list of filter alert labels, use the repositories() query with the alerts parameter — and the sub-parameter of that, labels.

Syntax

graphql
removeFilterAlertLabel(
       input: RemoveFilterAlertLabel!
