Bug: Cannot specify Label when creating an issue

[seraphimalia]

Specifying a label (either a New Label or an Existing Label) results in the following error on submit: "string expected at index 0"

Error is shown Below the "Label" form field.

Is there data missing from this bug report? I'm not seeing anything "shown below"

[seraphimalia]

Sorry, I was referring to the Add Issue Screen. The error message is shown below the field. The error is: "string expected at index 0". I am attaching a screenshot this time.

Great thanks, that should give me some direction.

I'm also having the exact same issue.

With select2 being updated, multiple tags should be able to be added.

I have some code, locally, to get tags from their old API:

As far as I know, there is no new API to get label suggestions. Hope this helps this enhancement come to fruition.
