I would like to have the possibility to make association labels mandatory, so that when a user makes an association, they always need to select an association label

As a workaround, someone from Hubspot was trying to set this via workflow so that if it wasn’t filled in by a user, a workflow would set it, however, whilst we can use association labels as triggers or in if/then branches, the ability to set an association label via workflow is not yet possible.
