Setting seperate labels on Computer Issue

I am trying to set a label for one computer so I can run a completely different program at startup, but when I set the label it renames the other computer as well. Why would it be doing this?

It shouldn't be doing this unless you are using duplicated computers cheated in creative mode. Basically, you've forced the game to consider the id of both to be the same, leading them to refer to the same folder (…with the same files) which in turn will keep the same label.

TL;DR: Don't use duplicate computers. Use a disk drive connected by a network to both computers.

Like King said (well, alluded to), you can use the Creative pick block (middle click by default) to duplicate an already-placed computer, but any computers
placed from that item share files, ids, and labels

Basically all the computers share information (Though I believe they have separate programming environments)

Use a disk drive connected by a network to both computers.
… if you want them to share files

Although based on OP, it sound's like the duplication of the computer(s) wasn't so they would share files
