Customize Columns for Subtasks in Task View
Matt Langlois
It would be great if in the Task View we could have the ability to customize (globally) the columns that we see next to each task.
By default it is Assignees, Priority, and Due Date, with an option to manually add in columns, but that doesn't translate globally.
I think a separate global setting for this would be a great addition as a lot of us are looking at start date and due date, not just due date.

+1 from our team. We have one List with a large number of project tasks, each with a few subtasks, and we always need the same custom fields visible in the subtask table when someone opens a task.
I tested how it works now: columns I add with the + icon stay on that task for me, even after restarting ClickUp. A colleague opening the same task still sees the default columns, and every other task starts from the default again. With this many tasks, setting it up task by task and person by person isn't realistic.
What we need is a "Save as default" option in the subtask column picker at List level (Space or Folder level would be welcome too) that applies to everyone opening a task in that location. Personal tweaks on a single task can stay personal, as long as the baseline is shared.
Please don't solve this by making per-task changes visible to everyone. In a big team, that would turn into clutter fast.
Thanks!

Actually baffled this hasn't been looked into by ClickUp yet since it originated in 2023...

Incredibly annoying! In addition, the name column is so wide that you don't see anything about the other tabs. I work and live with ClickUp, setting up the columns every time I create a task is actually disrespectful that ClickUp wants to do the work for me... When it fails because of such basics.
Since I work alone, the “responsibilities” field is irrelevant anyway. I need date, priority, time estimate and a smaller name column... Always

This would be a really helpful option for our team! Certain columns are really helpful for our team to see at a glance and while they CAN reset the subtask columns every time, it's extra clicks the first time they're in any task with subtasks. Being able to set the default view at the Space view would be helpful, but even to set it at a task level and have that set the default for it's subtasks would be excellent!

Any status on timing of this one? Seems pretty basic.

With the amount of custom fields available and the difficulty to organize, allowing a global setting or even a space/folder setting will be highly beneficial for teams to work efficiently.

This is so basic. Please add!

We would love this to make sure our users can easily add time to their Subtasks when they are clicked into their tasks.

Please implement this! “Set default columns per list, folder, or space” would also be great. Thank you!
