ClickUp’s Basic Limitations Are Forcing Me Away
Alex Nascimento
Today I’m having a terrible experience with ClickUp — honestly, the worst so far. I don’t know if it’s even worth paying for a tool that limits such basic features just to push users into upgrades, making the overall experience frustrating and disappointing.
Here’s what happened:
I import a document — fine.
I try to import a second page, and suddenly the fields are not available to select for mapping.
I proceed anyway, then try a simple copy (Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V) to another column — not possible.
I go to the field manager, see the “merge fields” option, but it’s locked behind an upgrade. Okay, I get it, it’s a paid feature.
I rebuild all fields inside a task type just to make them appear in the list during import.
I import again — still nothing.
After 6 failed attempts, I give up and move everything to Google Sheets.
All I wanted was to have my information centralized in one place so I could rely more on ClickUp. But it’s impossible. All this, just because simple copy-and-paste is not allowed.
And these were only some of the many workarounds I tried. But since ClickUp support never really listens (it feels like responses are just scripted keyword-based templates), I won’t even waste more of my time explaining further.
I don’t even want a resolution anymore. I’ve given up. This is just a very poor user experience.
