Hello folks,

I have a weird thing going on.  
Let me introduce you to `very_high`, my alarm:

And here's what the tables look like:

The ack events use the label properly, but the active and clear events use the name instead.  
The table uses a filter on the source to show alarms for this tag only, so they cannot be events from another alarm somewhere else.  
Version is 8.1.37

Any idea what's going on here ?

Hi, I'm in the 8.1.39 version and I get the same problem.  
The AlarmStatusTable got the right 'Label' from the alarms but the AlarmJournalTable take the 'Name' istead. So for the AlarmJournalTable 'Name' and 'Label' are the same thing.

It still occurs on 8.1.48.

I found that there is no corresponding label record in the alarm\_event\_data table.

A config, at Gateway-Config-Alarming-Journal-Event Data-Static Config.
