Import links, relationships, and dependencies

I would like to be able to import a complete project plan including child tasks and dependencies.

Allow CSV Import of Task Dependencies (Predecessors/Successors)
Gaston Taboada
Current Limitation:
ClickUp does not currently support importing task dependencies, such as predecessors and successors, through the CSV or spreadsheet importer, which means dependencies mapped in a project sheet must be assigned manually after import—an inefficient and error-prone process for larger projects. For example, I have a project with 1,800 tasks, and manually setting each dependency is not practical; this is also a significant barrier for others considering migrating to ClickUp.
Requested Feature:
Please enable the ability to import task dependencies as part of the CSV import process, so users can map columns for predecessor or successor task IDs and use comma-separated values for multiple dependencies during import.
Proposed Result:
Dependencies would be automatically established as “waiting on” or “blocking” relationships between tasks when importing, saving time and improving accuracy for project planning in ClickUp, and making migration from other tools much more accessible.

I was looking for this feature when importing from spreadsheet... it would be good to have a field for tier/level and ability to set task parent based on a designated fiels (i.e. unique import number)
