Create Label example request

[Patrick]

Hello,

I can't seem to find an example of how to create a Label via the api.  There are examples on how to attach an already existing label but none on how to create one from scratch.

Could you point me in the right direction, otherwise please could an example be created, it isn't that obvious (to me at least) the relationship between Label TextLabel and the actual label in the UI.  E.g. do you need a TextLabel at all if you're just after a simple label with a name?

I'm using the php library, but after a very quick look it doesn't look like there are examples in other client libraries either.

Thanks

Also not entirely sure this Label documentation is entirely correct, it doesn't mention Label at all only TextLabel?

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for reaching out. We do not currently have a code sample for creating a label, but you can reach out to the PHP GitHub client library owners if you need help on this. 

TextLabel is a field belonging to the Label resource. You must create a TextLabel instance, specifying values for its fields, and then include that TextLabel when creating the Label using LabelService.MutateLabels.
