Update a release label

PATCH/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/releases/labels/{pk}/

Release labels are the workspace-level label catalog for releases. Update a release label. Send only the keys you want to change — omitted keys keep their current value, and an explicit null clears a nullable field.

Path Parameters

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs — in https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.

pk:requiredstring

The release label id.

Body Parameters

color:optionalstring

Hex color used wherever this is rendered, for example #3f76ff.

Maximum 255 characters.

name:optionalstring

Display name.

Maximum 255 characters.

sort_order:optionalinteger

Manual ordering weight. Lower sorts first.

Response shaping

fields:optionalstring

Comma-separated list of fields to return. Unrequested keys are omitted, not returned as null. id always comes back. Pass all for every requestable field. An unknown name is a 400. See Sparse fields.

Requestable here: color, created_at, created_by_id, id, name, sort_order.
