Labels vs tags
Both are colored chips for categorizing items, but labels belong to a board and tags belong to the project — choose by whether the category should follow the item everywhere.

Tugasna gives you two ways to categorize items with colored chips — labels and tags. They look similar, but they live at different levels, and picking the right one keeps your categories meaningful as items move around.
The difference
| Labels | Tags | |
|---|---|---|
| Belong to | A board | The project |
| Unique within | That board | The whole project |
| When an item moves boards | Cleared | Survive |
| Good for | Stages or categories that only make sense on one board | Themes that should follow an item everywhere |
Labels — board-scoped
A label is defined on a board and only applies there. If an item leaves that board — placed back to the backlog, or moved to another board — its labels are removed, because they have no meaning off that board. Use labels for board-specific distinctions like Blocked, Needs review, or This sprint.
Tags — project-scoped
A tag is defined once for the whole project and follows an item everywhere — across boards and the backlog. Use tags for durable themes you want to track project-wide, like Bug, Customer request, or a feature area.
Rule of thumb: ask "should this category follow the card around the project?" If yes, use a tag. If it only matters on this one board, use a label.
Custom fields behave like labels
Custom fields are also board-scoped — their values are cleared when an item moves to another board, the same way labels are. Anything that must persist across boards belongs on a tag.
See Plan with the backlog for how moving items between the backlog and boards affects these.
Plan with the backlog
Park ideas and to-dos in the project backlog before they're ready for a board, then place them on a column when it's time to work.
