Could you explain a bit more about when someone might find themselves in this situation? For example, a correct version of something like:

Labels are applied to steps, not jobs, so you can't update a job label. When a step contains multiple jobs, all the jobs use the same label.

I also wonder if this might fit in better above the example where it's already talking about step labels.

If there's a ticket in Helpscout or a post in the forum, it might help me understand the details a bit better 😊
