In Werk #16719 a validation was introduced in the REST API that prevents entering host labels with : in the name or value (e.g.: {‘ke:y’: ‘value’, ‘createdAt’: ‘12:00:00’}. However, it was not taken into account that there may be invalid labels entered in a lawful way before this Werk, leaving it up to the user to remove such labels.

This Werk introduces an upgrade hook that removes invalid labels automatically when the site is upgraded to a new version.
