Duplicated labels
I am running a self-managed gitlab.
I created global labels under /admin/labels, e.g. bug, task, feature.
We are happy with global labels and that is what we want to use for all new projects.
Now, we are running into the situation,
that every time we create a new project, gitlab duplicates our “global” labels in the new created project.
This results in duplicate labels, when the project maintainer opens the project label admin page:
/group/sub-group/project/-/labels
The we see the global label “bug” and a duplicate entry “/group/sub-group/project/bug”.
Or when a user create a new issue and want to choose a label, they see every label twice:
We are aware, that there are
default labels, which we do not want to use.
We are aware of defining group labels, which we do not want to use, as it means copy/paste of labels into every new group.
We are aware of project-specific labels, which we do not want to use, as it means copy/paste of labels into every new project.
Our current workaround at the moment is to delete all duplicated labels, manually. Every time we create a new project.
No idea, if there is any option or workaround to prevent those duplicate labels.

We checked out discussion on the roadmap,
which might be related, but we believe this sounds like a bug or we missed a config settings somewhere.
