-					// Unlike a proper programming language, Javascript only knows references to objects and does not
-					// allow you to control what is a reference and what isnt. Because of this we can't just add
-					// all labels to the task they belong to right after we found and added them to the task since
-					// 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 label pretty much unusable for everything else. Normally, this is not a big deal, because
-					// 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.
-					//      (Now there's *two* places with a reference to the same label object: in the store and in the
-					//      variable which holds the label from the search in the store)
-					//   3. .push the label to the task
-					//   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
-					//      the store and the one that was created when parsing the api response. The old one was
-					//      modified before sending the api request and thus, our store which still holds a reference
-					//      to the old label now contains old data.
-					//      I guess this is the point where normally the GC would come in and collect the old label
-					//      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
