Problem to solve

Recently I noticed that label had been created with it's origination in it's name like ~"Doing (.com group label)". There is also confusion trying to remove duplicate labels as a result of projects being moved around in groups with the same labels. Additional information can be added to the viewing of labels to help identify them.

Further details

The primary use case here is not having to add an originating group to the label name so that it is clear.

Proposal

Add the information about whether a label is a group and which group in it's tooltip. Possibly show some kind of visual indicator like having an outline for group labels.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

(If no way to measure success, link to an issue that will implement a way to measure this)
