When using Partitioner on Leap15.5 to change the label of an exfat partition it creates a call to /usr/sbin/exfatlabel but apparently that binary is no longer part of the installed software.
In YAST software I found a package called exfatprogs, which had mkfs.exfat which did the trick of relabeling (although I am not sure it retained the original partition).
Anyway , maybe Partitioner needs an update on this ?
As Leap 15.5 is EOL, no functional updates will be provided.
Apparently, it is not yet part of the installed software.

The program 'exfatlabel' can be found in following packages:
* exfat-utils [ path: /usr/sbin/exfatlabel, repository: repo-oss ]
* exfatprogs [ path: /usr/sbin/exfatlabel, repository: repo-oss ]
Try installing with:
sudo zypper install <selected_package>

You can certainly open bug report and it may be fixed at least for Leap 15.6. But Leap 15.5 is likely too old for this.
Thanks for your prompt reply. I can understand Leap 15.5 is too old and will not get a fix. No problem. However , I checked in package exfatprogs-1.0.4-150300.3.12.1 which is installed on my system and there is no exfatlabel in that one. And, according to Yast2 package exfat-utils conflicts with this exfatprogs.
I went on checking out github. exfatprogs/exfatprogs over there does contain exfatlabel but somehow the version I got from the Leap15.5 repo does not. Odd.
But I am way out of my comfort-zone there so I better leave this up to the SuSe Leap wizards. And wait and see how Leap 15.6 does once I have upgraded to that version.
