Log gist:

Description

After adding a custom label file to $GITEA_CUSTOM/options/label, the label set becomes available in the 'create repository' screen, but not as a preset on a repository's "labels" page.

Screenshots

In the below screenshot, the 'Dialogic' set is custom:

Nevertheless, it doesn't show up on the repository's label page:

I do not expect the label file itself to be the issue, nevertheless here it is:

#EC0000 bug ; Something is not working as it should
#CCCCCC duplicate ; This issue already exists
#27A581 feature ; A new feature is requested
#93BA5A user-request ; This was requested by an end-user
#1A7789 ui-ux ; This issue is related to a UI/UX issue
#DE8C3F chore ; This issue is related to non-user-facing changes (e.g. maintenance of code, tooling)
#003764 paid ; There is a direct budget to resolve this issue
#E8B63C performance ; This issue is related to performance
#f00eca easy ; This issue is probably easy to fix (a good first issue!)

Note that saving my custom label set as $GITEA_CUSTOM/options/label/Default does replace the default set presented on the repository's label screen.

While this might be by design, it is a bit confusing. Suggestions for fixing:

Document this behaviour (tell users that the Default file is probably where they want to save labels, and that other labels will only be available for creation of new repositories)
Also present other label sets in the repository labels screen (and possibly also the organisation-wide screen, which also suggests the Default label set when there are no labels)

Okay, I feel stupid. I simply didn't notice the 'default' rectangle is actually dropdown menu. This correctly shows my custom label set:

Maybe change the styling of the dropdown? (I am using Edge on a Mac, not sure how it looks elsewhere).
