Remove the Label field

The document type editor offers the option to add a field of the type Label. This does not offer more functionality than a regular String field. It was once created to support translatable strings, but that functionality is now offered through Resource Bundles.

The field is deprecated in 12.6 and can be removed in 13.

In CMS-11497 is described how developers should update their project configuration to replace Label fields with String fields. The field type is not documented, so there is no need for update there.

To remove this field:

• remove definition of it at /hippo:namespaces/system/Label
• remove translation of it at /hippo:configuration/hippo:translations/hippo:types/hipposys:Label

Check if the CMS has any specific support for this type and remove it. Check if the document editor in the Channel Manager has support for it and remove it.

Check if the field type is used in any Essentials feature and replace it with String fields. Also check the Test Suite.
