Multiple Labels Per Person

MMcKelvie · December 2022

I think it would be helpful to give people multiple labels. Some labels may refer to where they are in the sales process but other may be industry, sector, or a custom label that makes them easier to filter and search.

Of course @MMcKelvie totally agree.

It's unbelievable that Pipedrive doesn't have a comprehensive tagging system in 2023. Everyone and everywhere has it. (Google has it, Microsoft has it, Trello, you also have it here in the Community) It's a standard for sorting content. Incomprehensible ignorance.

Unfortunately "Labels" in Pipedrive look like tags (they have title and color) but they are not "Tags", because you can apply more of them to one record.

Someone can say: Do it by the Custom Field . Realy??

Which type of Custom Field they mean? Autocomplete? - no you cannot add multiple items. Multiselect? - no, you cannot add tags quickly, only in Settings. Other? Everything wrong. It's not option, is hacking,... this is at most an attempt to supplement a fundamental function that the system lacks.

OK, so may be you use Multiselect ... And the result?

You have to define it in advance, the hard way, in Settings.
you can't color them,
they don't appear on your cards (e.g. on Deal card in pipline),
you can't work with them in reports (up to the Professional version)
etc.

As a new user of Pipedrive - I am shocked that this is missing.

Tags (Labels if you wish) are simply brilliant and genius. Tags should be available everywhere, system-wide, without restrictions. I hope someone at Piperive realizes this soon.

Pipedrive Community is asking about this for a long time on many threads here:

More than one Label: https://community.pipedrive.com/discussion/1143/more-than-one-label
Multiple Labels Per Person: https://community.pipedrive.com/discussion/11469/multiple-labels-per-person
Adding More than 1 Label Per contact/deal: https://community.pipedrive.com/discussion/11485/adding-more-than-1-label-per-contact-deal
Multiple labels: https://community.pipedrive.com/discussion/7443/multiple-labels
Lead Multi-Label Add Request: https://community.pipedrive.com/discussion/11346/lead-multi-label-add-request
..and probably others..

BTW apparently the UP VOTES counts were not carried over from the previous version, so the voting starts from scratch. Pipedrive declares that it listens to the Community. So we the Community must be loud 📢 and persistent 💪.

Hi Matěj

Thank you for this feedback! I totally agree, labels/tags are a brilliant way to organize pretty much everything and this idea isn't lost on us either.

The good news is that we're adding multiple label support shortly. We start from adding it to deals very soon - actually if everything goes according to plan, then you should already see them by the end of next week.

After this we'll start working on adding them to Persons and Organizations as well, can't promise on an exact date yet but first half of this year.
