It appears in Adobe Animate you cannot change the label type for multiple keyframes at once, or it's not possible on my Adobe Animate ver 23.02 Installation for some reason.
I was not able to select a range of frames and change the label type from the properties panel's "frame" section as expected, nor was I able to change the type for all frames at once by using the "Edit Multiple Frames" mode.
As a workaround, I put this command script together and I am sharing it here in case anyone else needs it too.

It allows you to select a range of frames on a layer and switch the label type to name, comment, or anchor type. Type "none" is accepted too if you want to clear all the selected frames' labels.
Simply run the script using the Command tab > Run Commands... option in Adobe Animate, and then enter which type you want your selected frames to have.
One particular case this is helpful for, is removing all the output panel warnings you can get when using the same label names from inside a Movieclip symbol which can be solved by setting all the frame labels to be of type "Comment".
These warnings can happen a lot when using Adobe Animate's Auto Lipsync feature with a graphic symbol that's within a Movieclip, since Animate will automatically use the same frame label name every time its according mouth shape is used for lipsyncing.
Hope this helps!
