TASK

Is there a way to rename a label?

SOLUTION

Simply create a new label with the contents of the old one. The following is an example of this process wherein "oldname" is the current name of the label, and "newname" is the name you are renaming the label with.

Example

p4 label -t oldname newname

p4 labelsync -l newname @oldname

Now, delete the old one (if you want).
p4 label -d oldname 
See "p4 help label" and "p4 help labelsync" for more details, or check the command reference on p4 label and p4 labelsync.
