Labels on subfolders not displayed in History Explorer

Env.: Vault Client 4.1.3 18336

Hi,
I noticed that the History Explorer doesn't show the labels put on subfolders.
I found this old thread on the forum where Dan explains it's by design in order not to clutter the history with too many labels.

With all respect due, I think this is a very bad decision: Labels account for a very small part of the history, yet make browsing history much easier. Having to cross the table in 'show labels' with the History Explorer is tedious and a loss of time.

Hoping there's news on this front since then... or that my opinion could somehow contribute to make you change your mind about it.

Best regards,
Serge.

This hasn't changed. Some users label after every build, so the recursive history could easily become unmanageable.

I did add your comments to the existing feature request 9064, and bumped it up in priority.

It would be helpful know why "Show Labels" doesn't meet your needs for locating labels, and why you would need to compare Show Labels with History.
