Ability to ONLY hide tasks with start date "greater than today" from list
complete
Mateo Baisden
I understand that you can filter a list to only show tasks with start dates today or before, but then I don't see all the tasks that don't have a start date set (which is most of them) either.
What I want is to be able to get my task list to hide tasks that CAN'T be started until the future, so I can only see a) the tasks without a start date, and b) the tasks with a start date today or before.

My workaround - we've created the automation in this image, and added a status "hidden until start date".
Next, we've excluded this status with filters on our dashboards.
Then, when a user wants to hide a task until its start date, they move the task to this status

Is this ticket still considered "complete"?

Agreed. I have lots of blocked tasks (dependencies) that are cluttering up my home page. Would love the option to hide them until they're unblocked.

Not sure if this ever got officially fixed. A potential workaround is to assign tasks with a future start date to a custom status and make an Automation to change tasks with that status to To-do when their start date arrives (last option in the Automation trigger menu, see below).
At least this way you can filter out tasks with future start dates from view without sabotaging your ability to use other filters.

Ivan Villa: Can I ask why this was marked Complete? There is still no solution or proper workaround to the issue that I can see unfortunately.
This is quite a big problem for me as I have many Views which I need filtered by custom fields, in which I need to see all entries with and without dates EXCEPT for today. Something I can't seem to do at all at the moment unless I'm mistaken?

Turns out this is now possible in Clickup 2. Screenshot below, so we see those with no start date or ones where start date is now or previous.

Mark Foley: You're right, this is //kind of achievable// now, but in a way that's still too limiting.
To be fully useful, It needs to be a SINGLE filter criteria, eg:
"[Start Date] - [Is] - [No date, Today, or Earlier]"
....
So for example, this is the way it currently works: you need to use TWO filter criterias, eg:
"[Start Date] - [Is] - [No date]"
OR
"[Start Date] - [Is] - [Today, or Earlier]"
....
The problem is that now I can't filter for ANYTHING ELSE. eg I can't do something like:
"[Start Date] - [Is] - [No date, Today, or Earlier]"
AND
"[Tags] - [Is] - [Important Projects]"
....
I'm hoping that the "Planned" status is to implement this as a single filter line :)

Dan Mundy: You hit the nail on the head ...but this request is marked "complete". Will anyone ever see this?
Al Cons
Jorge Bracer: Yes it's a shame it's been marked Complete. Not sure if it's worth trying to revive this or start a new request.

Yes this would be handy!

Yes please.
This filter could be named:
Today & Earlier & No date
Naya
Please don't do it through a filter but as a default view! Start dates are very important for focussing. So in the "to do today" view items with both start and due dates should be seen.

Once this is implemented it would be nice to have the option to activate this filter easily (same as the one on subtasks), or have it active by default (through a Space setting for instance).
Context: At the moment I use a Scheduled status that could be replaced by setting start dates.
