+					// the task update method also ensures all data the api sees has the right format. That means
+					// it processes labels. That processing changes the date format and the label color and makes

+					// the labels on a task get thrown away anyway and replaced with the new models from the api
+					// when we get the updated answer back. However, in this specific case because we're passing a
+					// label we obtained from vuex that reference is kept and not thrown away. The task itself gets
+					// a new label object - you won't notice the bad reference until you want to add the same label
+					// again and notice it doesn't have a color anymore.
+					// I think this is what happens: (or rather would happen without the hack I've put in)
+					//   1. Query the store for a label which matches the name
+					//   2. Find one - remember, we get only a *reference* to the label from the store, not a new label object.

+					//      variable which holds the label from the search in the store)

+					//   4. Update the task to remove the labels from the name
+					//   4.1. The task update processes all labels belonging to that task, changing attributes of our
+					//        label in the process. Because this is a reference, it is also "updated" in the store.
+					//   5. Get an api response back. The service handler now creates a new label object for all labels
+					//      returned from the api. It will throw away all references to the old label in the process.
+					//   6. Now we have two objects with the same label data: The old one we originally obtained from

+					//      object if the store wouldn't still hold a reference to it.
+					//
+					// Now, as a workaround, I'm putting all new labels added to that task in this separate variable to
