change fields into labels, unless there is a good reason not to

[qpnaosc]

One issue: labels are not automatically added to an issue if you click "add item"

[qpnaosc]

fields get applied even if something is a draft which for a fast moving list, keeping things drafts may be a better option?

[reticulatedpines]

Which labels should be added, under what circumstances? Why is it a problem that tickets have no labels by default?

I also don't know what a field is. Is this some project level thing maybe?
