[notabug] Cannot revert to default labels for group board

Summary

I'm running GitLab EE with no options, so effectively GitLab CE. I tried to create configurable labels for a group board, but this feature isn't available on CE. Now I have no labels, and no way to get the default labels back.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install GitLab EE with no options (effectively GitLab CE)
  2. Create a group
  3. Visit the board page
  4. Get presented with the option to use default labels, or create your own
  5. Pick "create your own"
  6. Create a custom group label
  7. Return to board
  8. Label does not appear (this feature isn't available, so this is correct behaviour)

...at this stage I want to undo my choice and go with the default labels.

This is incorrect. The label can be added with the "Add list button.

Example Project

https://source.puri.sm/groups/liberty/-/boards (fixed)

What is the current bug behavior?

There is no way to restore the default labels.

What is the expected correct behavior?

  1. Ideally the option should not be presented if it isn't possible

  2. Given that the option was presented, and I made the wrong choice, I should be able to get the default labels. Perhaps under "Edit project"?

Possible fixes

A workaround would be an acceptable solution (e.g. change some database value to restore the choice, and this time I'll make the right one).
