Currently, the Relationship custom field only allows two options:
  • Relate a task to any task across the entire Workspace.
  • Restrict relationships to tasks within a single list.
This limitation reduces flexibility. It would be very useful to allow the Relationship field to be restricted to multiple specific lists (instead of just one).
🔧 Practical use case
I use ClickUp to manage my team’s planning and need to connect scheduled tasks with other types of tasks where time tracking is centralized (e.g., billing tasks, annual maintenance, ongoing projects, or credit time).
For example:
  • A planning task could be linked to an annual maintenance task stored in the maintenance list.
  • Or to a task inside a current project list.
  • Or to a credit time task.
This way, the team can track time directly from the planning tasks, while the logged hours are automatically reflected in the corresponding maintenance, project, or credit time lists. This would allow us to better analyze profitability and compare tracked time with sold time across projects.

  • Greater flexibility in organizing tasks.
  • Less noise when searching for related tasks.
  • Faster, more accurate linking between relevant tasks.
  • Better visibility into profitability by connecting planning and time-tracked work.
