Combine Objects and place into array - JavaScript / React

I have multiple objects in an array. They each have a labelId assigned to them. If the label id is the same then I need to combine the objects by placing some of the values inside an array of the new combined object. 

[
    {
        field: "legalName",
        isOpened: false,
        label: "Legal Name",
        labelId: 1,
        value: "John Doe"
    },
    {
        field: "homeAddress1",
        isOpened: false,
        label: "Home Address",
        labelId: 2,
        value: "2343 Main Street"
    },
    {
        field: "homeAddress2",
        isOpened: false,
        label: "Home Address",
        labelId: 2,
        value: "New York, NY"
    }
]

What I want it to look like

[
    {
        isOpened: false,
        label: "Legal Name",
        labelId: 1,
        values:
            [
                {field: "legalName", value: "John Doe"}
            ]
    },
    {
        isOpened: false,
        label: "Home Address",
        labelId: 2,
        values:
            [
                {field: "homeAddress1", value: "2343 Main Street"},
                {field: "homeAddress2", value: "New York, NY"}
            ]
    }
]

I am removing the field and value from the original object and placing it into an array of values for all objects regardless if they have the same labelId.

Code so far - 

personalInfoArray.forEach(info => {
    personalInfoArray.forEach(info2 => {
        if ((info.labelId === info2.labelId) && (info.field !== info2.field)) {
            info.values = [
                {field: info.field, value: info.value},
                {field: info2.field, value: info2.value}
            ]

        }
    })
})

I am looping through the same array twice in order to determine if the object has the same labelId, if success - create array. The issue is I'm not removing the properties and the other object still exists. Along with if they don't have the same labelId, nothing happens.

Thanks

This is an approach using the function Array.prototype.reduce to group the object by labelId and the function Object.values to extract the grouped objects.

let arr = [{    field: "legalName",    isOpened: false,    label: "Legal Name",    labelId: 1,    value: "John Doe"  },  {    field: "homeAddress1",    isOpened: false,    label: "Home Address",    labelId: 2,    value: "2343 Main Street"  },  {    field: "homeAddress2",    isOpened: false,    label: "Home Address",    labelId: 2,    value: "New York, NY"  }],
    result = Object.values(arr.reduce((a, {labelId, field, isOpened, label, value}) => {
      (a[labelId] || (a[labelId] = {isOpened, label, labelId, values: []})).values.push({field, value});
      return a;
    }, Object.create(null)));

console.log(result);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
