Create Chats not linked to the hierarchy (Space, Folders, or Lists)

Would love the ability to create a Chat Channel like in Slack where it doesn't have to be linked to a Folder or List – or when creating a new Channel it doesn't automatically create a new List.

Hey, everyone!
We're excited to share that creating Chats not tied to the hierarchy (Spaces, Folders, and Lists) is now possible in ClickUp Chat!
By default, creating a new Chat will make it live on the Workspace. If you'd still like to chat on a Space, Folder, or List, go to that location and click the Chat button in the top right corner.
Soon, we'll have the ability to more specifically chose when you want to add a Chat to a location as well as the ability to rename and delete Chats that are locationless!

Chat is for communication mostly with people outside the team. There is already a means to communicate with the team (comments) within Clickup. So I agree that the ability for standalone chat module is essential to engage external team members (like customers). They do not need to see the inner workings of our project management.
Although I already moved from Slack. I had to create a separate hierarchy just so that I can use the chat module with external customers and keep that separate from the project management side of things.

Would be really useful if we could create channels without them being directly tied to lists or folders. Sometimes it might be team level, other times more generic. Having chats tied to lists and folders is impacting the social aspect of chat which is important for org culture.

Delete Chat without Deleting Space/Folder/List

When a new Chat is created it is added to a Hierarchy location. Currently there isn't a way to delete the Chat without deleting that location. It would be great to be able to delete these Chats as if they were views!
This would likely be partially solved by this other FR: https://clickup.canny.io/chat-feedback/p/create-chats-not-linked-to-the-hierarchy-space-folders-or-lists

We'll be handling this soon with Chats that don't love on a Spaces, Folders, or Lists!
So I'm merging there :)
