Problem Definition

Confluence does not provide a functionality which could allow attachments and child pages to inherit labels from its parent page. It could be useful for building RSS and Recently-Updated feeds.
Currently only one Marketplace plugin provides solution for labels inherited during the page creation but it does not maintain them: if the page is moved the labels will not be updated accordingly.

Suggested Solution

1. It would be good to expand the present labeling system with:
   • Parent-child relations
   • Synonyms
   • Inheritance
2. And to develop a toolkit to maintain the existing labels.

Workaround

• Manually add the labels in the child pages
• Use one of the plugins available in the Atlassian Marketplace
• Create templates with the necessary labels assigned and create new pages using this template
