After I click the Show Labels toggle, I click on the + sign to add a new label and any new label I try to create shows up as red in the list and the label is never added.
Has anyone run onto this and have a solution?
Thanks,
Bruce

That is good news! @bchamoff
Do you want to share how and what you figured out? I am sure it will benefit others in this community! 
Yes, sure, @Linds, I realized that I was not including the category and the colon in front of the label name. What the label popup does not tell you is that the format needs to be:
category:label name So for example, main:sports or main:food
“main” is the category and the label would be the subcategory.
My original problem was that I was only creating the label name. I hope this helps others

Synthetics is moving more towards New Relic One, which means that labels now become tags, you can read more about that move here:
There’s some information there on creating tags as well
