Troubleshooting
Inconsistencies in the label list
Jira has an internal cache (often referred to as an index) where details about projects and issues are stored.
It may take a few minutes (sometimes longer, depending on the size of your Jira instance) for the actual label list to refresh correctly. This especially happens when merging labels on a long list of issues.
In the meantime and when having doubt about a particular merge or renaming, you can always check the accuracy of your labels in the main Issue list of Jira.
