Labels Not Migrating with Custom Table via Update Set

[Nishkarshs]

Hi Community,

I’m currently facing an issue while migrating a custom tables from one instance to another using update sets.

Here’s the situation:
• I've multiple custom tables with multiple columns in Instance A.

• I captured the tables and its fields in an update set, including the sys_db_object, sys_dictionary, and sys_documentation records (which include the labels).
• When I move the update set to Instance B and commit it, the table and columns appear correctly, but for some tables the labels are missing or not updated.

Screenshot of instance B 

• I double-checked and confirmed that the label records were included in the update set.
• I even tried creating a separate update set just for the labels, but it still didn’t work.
• As a workaround, I tried manually updating the labels in the target instance after migration, but those changes also do not reflect or persist correctly.

Has anyone else encountered this issue before?
Is there something I’m missing when it comes to moving label metadata for custom tables and fields across instances?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Nishkarsh

you can additionally import via XML, click right mouse button on the list and click open in new window and that will give you idea about the table name
