It’s not useful to convert these to labels. They are just index keywords for database search, while the concept of “labels” in Paperpile is different. So we deliberately don’t import those as labels. Actually it causes lots of troubles when other reference managers like Zotero or Mendeley have converted these keywords to their …

I’m not sure how feasible this would be to implement, but the matter continues to be on our radar so I’ve added your +1 to the topic.
