      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

      1. Currently the only possible way to inherit the labels from the parent page is to utilize the existing paid add-on from the Marketplace: Labeler - not available at this point.
      2. You can create a page template with in a space add label to it. Use this template to create a new page and that will have label added to it.
      3. Other that that I could explore an app where in child pages will inherit the labels from its parent pages and more.
