Allow resource sharing request labels to be deleted
When you're adding a request label to a resource sharing request in the new Alma resource sharing reqeust list interface, you see a list of all the labels you have previously added to requests. Unfortunately, it's not possible to remove labels from this list, so you always see every label you've ever created, including labels with typos and labels that were created by mistake. We would like to be able to remove specific labels from this label list.

I agree, being able to choose which ones you want deleted and which ones you still want available for staff would be useful. Some labels are only used temporarily and can be deleted after its use, but yet others are a standard label used by everyone. We don't want those disappearing because there are no items using that label.

Thanks for your consideration of this. In my opinion, being able to choose what you can delete would be more useful than the proposed solution of labels being automatically deleted. There might be situations where labels are not currently needed for any items, but will be used again in the future. It would be a small time-saver and would help with consistency for the labels to remain available until chosen to be deleted.
