Missing the Jira Labels Gadget ? Meet the New Label Gadget 2.0 from Colored Label Manager
Hi everyone 👋,
Big changes are coming to Jira dashboards soon !
As you may have heard, Atlassian will retire the built-in Labels Gadget on May 25, 2025. If your team relies on labels to organize work and track issues, this change could leave an important gap.
That’s why we’re excited to announce:
🔵 Colored Label Manager for Jira now offers a new, Label Gadget 2.0 — designed to help you stay in control of your labels, even after May 25.
What is the New Label Gadget?
Our new Label Gadget 2.0 gives teams full visibility into how labels are used across projects and fields — directly on your Jira dashboard.
With it, you can:
📊 Visualize the distribution of labels across selected projects and label fields
🎯 Filter by project, system label field, or custom label fields
⏳ Track trends in label usage over time
🎨 Customize the display to match your team’s needs
Whether you're cleaning up duplicate OR merge labels, tracking label adoption, or simply staying organized, the Label Gadget 2.0 brings label management back to your dashboard — better than ever.
Why We Built This
We didn’t wait for Labels Gadget to retire. We saw it coming.
It’s not just a replacement. It’s a rethink — of how teams visualize work, make decisions faster, and bring clarity to chaos with just a glance.
No more gray, boring blocks. Now labels tell stories. And yes, they look great doing it.
This update builds on the existing strengths of Colored Label Manager for Jira, which already helps teams manage, restrict, and report on labels across multiple custom fields.
Stay Organized After May 25
Don’t lose visibility over your labels!
The new Label Gadget 2.0 is available now inside Colored Label Manager for Jira ready for teams who want to stay organized, efficient, and dashboard-driven even after the native Labels Gadget is retired.
