This is a no brainer. I shouldn't have to create a duplicate of a standard field to make it required. These standard fields are already configured and optimized for things like automations, filters, and views, but not making them required means we don't have all the information needed to manage our tasks and make team members accountable for providing more complete information. Why not just add a toggle to all fields that makes this possible? This is creating a lot of extra work for administrators and team managers that could be eliminated with a simple fix.

Response from Brain AI for this inquiry:
No, ClickUp does not currently allow you to make standard (built-in) fields—such as task name, description, due date, assignee, etc.—required for task creation in a specific List. The "required" setting is only available for Custom Fields, which you can configure to be mandatory when creating or updating a task.
If you need to enforce that certain information is always filled out, the best approach is to create Custom Fields for those data points and set them as required in your List, Folder, or Space.

Surprised that this hasn't already been implemented. It seems like it'd be an easy addition considering the feature exists in other areas?

It just seems silly that we have to create a "required" custom field for our start dates and due dates and then setup an automation to look for these fields and then populate the start and due date from there, when it would be much easier to just have a toggle to make these fields "required" on a space/list level by default

I really need assignees required when creating a task. Is something that could be done?
