I figured it out! If you right click on the relevant object in "Component Browser", there is a checkbox for viewing the associated label. Here's a screenshot example for anyone having similar issues:
The label component of an edit field is not showing in component browser of app designer

I am using appdesigner. I added an edit field (which includes an "edit field" and an "edit field label". I changed the name of the edit field to "Env6", and the tag of the edit field changed to "Env6EditField", but the associated label is just called "Label". I want the label to be renamed to "Env6EditFieldLabel", in concordance with my other edit fields & labels, but I can't find the label component in the appdesigners component browser.
If I debug from within a callback, I can see that there is a field of "app" called "Label" (i.e. isfield(app,'Label')==1), but it isn't editable with the appdesigner GUI and not visible in component browser.
How do I edit this?

I don't think Label for an edit field exists as a separate object (at least not in very recent versions). It's a part of the editfield object and accessible via the editfield object's Label property. In your case the label can be accessed as app.Env6EditField.Label.

You are right. Never noticed it, never needed it. Not sure what purpose it's serving since the object can be accessed using the label property.
