Allow AI Agents to create/update relationships between tasks via a custom field
Today, AI Agents can read relationships between tasks, but can't create, edit, or delete relationships between tasks. I would like an Agent to be able to automatically manage task relationships (task relationships, related relationships — not dependencies) based on the value of a custom field. Concrete example of use: I have a custom Project Id field on a list. When the Project ID of a task is changed, I would like an Agent to: find all the other tasks (and subtasks) that have the same Project ID, automatically adds a related relationship between the triggering task and these tasks, removes existing relationships to tasks whose Project Id no longer matches, without changing any other fields (status, assignee, etc.). This would make it possible to: automatically keep relationships between tasks in the same project synchronized, avoid manual errors or missing links, build more advanced workflows around the structure of projects (navigation by relationships, reports, linked views, etc.). Functionally, the Agent would need: read the value of a custom field on the triggering task, search for other tasks sharing the same value in a given scope (list/folder/space), create/delete “task relationship” relationships between tasks. This type of capability would open up a lot of advanced automation scenarios (link by customer, by campaign, by product, by sprint, etc.) based on custom fields.

Super Agent Not Ready for Primetime
I've been watching a ton of videos and community events to try and get a sense of actual use cases. In the end, most ended up being marketing hype more than anything OR "we use agents to do x, y, z", but never showing them in action. I finally decided to give one a shot last week. I started with a template (personal assistant I think). After some iteration on the setup, I thought I was set. Each morning it would send me my focus items for the day and a list of my meetings. Well it changed the format from the first day to the second and then again on the third (with no prompting). I decided I liked the second day the best and asked it to take what it gives in the chat and create a parent task with sub-tasks each day so I could actually check something off (the checklist in chat is not interactive). EVERY day since, it messes up something. The tasks gets created and it's in my Overdue section. Bot says "You're right...let me fix that" and says it'll be correct moving forward. Sometimes it's missing the subtasks, other times its missing tags, other times the meetings. When I call it out, it tells me I'm right and that it'll fix it and update it's preferences, but it continues to not be consistent and therefore not reliable. I've burned through 4K credit this week because the agent can't lock in and stay consistent with it's instructions. As the company's ClickUp "champion", I can't recommend this to anyone else on the team at this time. It's all great in theory but it's wasting more time and effort in fighting with the agent to get things right than is worth for the output it provides. Intrigued with the concept (I use AI for a lot of things), but disappointment with the experience so far. Lastly, I found it interesting when I had a call with some of the product team this week when I asked if/when do the credits renew, neither had an answer. I still don't know if they renew monthly or we have what we have and when we run out we have to purchase another batch of credits.
