# TaskLabel

object type

A TaskLabel — the WORK vocabulary: a group-defined label attached to Tasks by reference (labelIds). DELIBERATELY its OWN master, NOT a reuse of the catalog Tag — catalog vocabulary (what we sell) and work vocabulary (how we operate) must not blend, and dooming a work label must never referential-gate against catalog nodes. The Tag SHAPE otherwise (caption + optional #rrggbb color; free-string labels stay unrepresentable — typo-proof, rename-safe via caption). FSM: active(i) ⇄ inactive → doomed (the template — ≠ the Tag's two-state: work vocabulary retires seasonally and comes back, so inactive earns its keep; 'blocked' lives HERE as a label because it has no machine consequence — the disclosed states-vs-labels lean). NOT searchable (supporting vocabulary — the Decoration SB-d class; reached via the tasks list filter, never name-found). The ops event domain (at.ops.task_label.\*).

## Fields

| Field | Type | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | The record’s id — a UUID the platform assigned when the record was created; every reference to this record uses it. |
| `sysId` | [String](/types/#scalars) `String!` | The group-scoped human-facing system id (LB-…). |
| `type` | [String](/types/#scalars) `String!` | The kind of record — always `TaskLabel` here. |
| `caption` | [String](/types/#scalars) `String!` | The record’s display name — what people see it called. |
| `status` | [String](/types/#scalars) `String!` | The FSM state: active \| inactive \| doomed. |
| `parentId` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | The parent org group; for a TaskLabel parentId === rootId. |
| `rootId` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | The org-group family root. |
| `createdAt` | [String](/types/#scalars) `String!` | When the record was created, as a UTC timestamp. |
| `updatedAt` | [String](/types/#scalars) `String!` | When the record last changed, as a UTC timestamp. |
| `revisionNum` | [Int](/types/#scalars) `Int!` | How many times this record has been edited; the first save is 0. |
| `revision` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | The OCC revision token — supply it on every mutation of this record; rotates on every write. |
| `refCaptions` | [RefCaption](/types/RefCaption/) `[RefCaption!]!` | The server-composed captions of this record's declared references (the referenced-caption rule) — one row per referenced id; see RefCaption. |
| `color` | [String](/types/#scalars) | Optional display color (#rrggbb, lowercase-normalized); absent ⇒ the surface default chip. |
