Columns for Space and Folder a task lives in
not on the roadmap

From support: It would be nice if we had a column that would show us the Folder or Space a task lives in.

It is shameful that something as basic as displaying a task's Folder and Space as columns in List and Table views is still missing, despite this request dating back to 2019. Marking it as "not on the roadmap" does nothing to solve the problem for people who rely on ClickUp's own hierarchy to run their operations.
At our agency, we use Space = Squad, Folder = Client, List = Project, and Task = Activity. We have more than 3,000 clients registered. In cross-project views, showing only the List is not enough to identify the client, especially when different clients have projects with similar names.
We used a Custom Field to identify the client, but the 500-option limit on Dropdown/Labels makes that workaround unviable. We now have to duplicate information that already exists in the hierarchy and maintain external automations just to display it in a column.
We need native Folder and Space columns, with filtering, sorting, and grouping, in List, Table, and Dashboard task lists, without reorganizing our entire Workspace. Breadcrumbs help with identification, but they do not replace these columns. This is a basic operational requirement. What is the concrete plan and timeline to address it?

I would like Location (parent folder) column. List is already available. Workspace wouldn't be as valuable to me, but it would definitely be helpful.

Add the space name to which a list belongs in the "Everything" space view. Currently, the lists just appear with zero relation to the space they are in.

New column in table view for Spaces

We use table view for our workload, however you can't seem to add a column that shows what space the task sits in, we use our spaces as clients so would be really useful to add these in to the table.

Add list name, folder name and space name as optional columns for task lists in dashboards

I put a whole bunch of tasks in different folders, but now when I list them all in my dashboard, I loose the information of which folder the task is in, and with only the title it can be hard to recognize the tasks.
Here is one example showing how tasks with the same name can be problematic:
In the Tasks tab:
- space: Web dev
-- folder: Canada
--- task: Validate links
-- folder: Quebec
--- task: Validate links
In the Dashboard:
- Validate links
- Validate links

Table View is useless without the folder name of tasks. There is a "list" column but it is not enough.
