I have a DLP policy that encompasses ALL SharePoint data. However, in a SharePoint list, the labels are shown only on a number of documents and not all of them within it. How do I correct that?

Documents exist in a library and one of the columns provide label information. There is a folder and a document where the label info is missing. Any and all documentss in any SP library need to have the label information presented.

    you can follow this reference link

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/sensitivity-labels-sharepoint-default-label?view=o365-worldwide

    in summary

    One potential solution could be to set a default sensitivity label for your SharePoint document libraries. Any new files uploaded or existing files edited in these libraries will have the label applied if they don't already have a sensitivity label, or they have a sensitivity label but with lower priority. Make sure that you've met all the requirements for setting a default sensitivity label. You should have created and published sensitivity labels, enabled sensitivity labels for Office files in SharePoint and OneDrive, and made sure that SharePoint Information Rights Management (IRM) is not enabled for the library. Site admin permissions are needed to apply and change the sensitivity label in SharePoint.

    Note that default sensitivity labels do not apply to existing files at rest in SharePoint. Also, some label configurations that apply encryption aren't suitable for SharePoint and don't support a default sensitivity label for a document library.

    As Sedat SALMAN mentioned above, set a default sensitivity label for your SharePoint document library is a solution.

    In another way, go to Library settings -> Apply label to items in this list or library -> Select a label then click apply label to existing items in the library.
