      Problem

      Currently only text type attribute are eligible as Label attributes in an object type as per Set the label of an object type

      Suggested Solution

      Allow non-text attributes to be made Label attributes

      Why This Is Important

      The below use case explains the purpose clearly:

      Imagine an object which represents a jira user. At this moment you need to have text-type attribute with "label" property, as well as user-type attribute
with the selected jira user.
Problem is that text-type field in this case is redundant as you have everything in user-type field, and it would be perfect to have only this user-type field, and not copy manually user name into text-type field because it is the one which can be set as "label".
Any case where non-text-type field represents a core object value will apply to this improvement, as it will narrow fields count to the minimum and saves manual filling of text-type field.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
