However, on the assign labels page (contributors.gitlab.com/manage-issue) they are not visible, although that is where they are most needed:

Feature Request

Label descriptions could be displayed for checkboxes and dropdowns:

  • On mouse hover (hint should not interfere with clicking the checkbox)
  • Or opposite the label name (in brackets or in a separate "column"; can be displayed in a different color)
