- How can I display the colour labels also in note view?
- Can I somehow remove all labels at once? Currently you have to match the keyboard shortcut of the individual label (eg. cmd + 3).

Thanks!

I fear the answer to both questions is **no** (at the moment).

- Flags apply to individual cards, so it sort of makes sense to not show them in note view, but perhaps we could show them [when all cards of a note are flagged](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/highlight-note-in-browser-when-all-of-its-cards-are-suspended/19516).
- A “Clear Flags” action could be put at the bottom of the Flags submenu.

Maybe the flags could be shown with a dashed border if there is at least one card that has this flag, but not all, and shown regularly is all cards have this flag. That would be a better way to aggregate the information IMO than not showing anything if at least one card doesn’t have a given flag.

If the cards are flagged red, ctrl/cmd+1 will remove the flag. If they’re not flagged red, pressing it twice will remove the flag.
