Yes, I feel this is super necessary for the association label to make sense in any way for automated tasks.
We have workflows that automatically create onboarding tickets for customer success when a sale is closed. We really want these tickets to have the association label “onboarding” so we can use workflows to only change these onboarding tickets and not any other tickets the companies might have.
I find it kind of weird that we can make workflows that only target objects with specific associations but not set those associations with workflows.
