prefect agent local start --label ...m

05/04/2021, 4:18 PMHello Nicholas! Sorry for such delay. You'll have to create a new agent with updated labels. So in your case, you'll need to update the script with new labels.

05/04/2021, 4:20 PMAh, @Nicholas Chammas I'd recommend trying to extract the labels out to the environment variable
Copy code
PREFECT__CLOUD__AGENT__LABELSn

05/04/2021, 4:24 PMWould it make sense to file a feature request to make it possible to edit labels directly (either via the web UI or CLI) on a running agent?
With regards to editing
