ClickUp currently automatically groups tasks in the list view in “Group by: Due Date” into relative areas such as “Today,” “Tomorrow,” “This Week,” “Next Week,” and “Future.”
This is well suited for short-term planning, but when planning over several weeks or an entire month, it quickly becomes confusing because many tasks end up in the “future” area.
It would therefore be expressly desired not to change the existing standard behavior, but a configurable setting within the list view.
For example, when grouping by due date, an additional granularity setting could be offered:
  • Standard/ current grouping
  • daily
  • weekly
If set to “daily,” each calendar day would be represented as a separate group, for example:
01.10.2026
  • Task A
  • Task B
02.10.2026
  • Task C
03.10.2026
  • Task D
Use case:
I sometimes plan my tasks several weeks or a whole month in advance, especially before vacations or periods of heavy workload. To do this, I need to be able to see how many tasks are on each individual day and be able to specifically postpone tasks to other days.
The current “Future” collection group makes precisely this type of capacity and monthly planning much more difficult.
Key requirements:
  • Use the normal due date
  • no additional custom fields required
  • Configuration directly in the view settings
  • Existing behavior is retained as standard
  • optional daily grouping over longer periods
  • Drag & drop between day groups to directly change the due date
  • Number of tasks per day group visible
  • optional: sum of time estimates per day group
I am aware that daily grouping over long periods of time can technically load more data for a lot of tasks and may be slower. In my opinion, however, this should be deliberately left to the user. For detailed planning, a slightly longer loading time would be significantly less problematic than a lack of overview.
The most important thing is therefore: The granularity of the grouping by due date should be configurable.
