Dear ClickUp Team and Fellow Users,
Have you ever grouped tasks by tags in ClickUp, only to wonder why certain tasks are missing? You’re not alone. This happens because the current tag grouping logic uses AND filtering, which restricts tasks to groups where all their tags match.
The Problem
If you’re like me, you use tags to organize tasks across categories—like meeting type, location, people, or topics. But when grouping by tags:
  • A task tagged with multiple categories often disappears from relevant groups.
  • The more tags you use, the harder it becomes to find tasks because they’re buried in overly specific combinations.
  • Instead of showing tasks under each relevant tag, ClickUp hides them unless every tag matches the group.
The Solution: An AND/OR Switch for Tag Grouping
Let’s give users the flexibility to choose! Adding a simple toggle to switch between AND and OR logic for tag grouping would:
1) Boost Visibility: See every task associated with a tag, even if it has additional tags.
2) Enhance Usability: Keep tasks where they belong—in multiple relevant groups.
3) Support Diverse Workflows: Whether you’re managing projects, meetings, or topics, tags will finally work the way you expect.
Here’s How It Could Work:
In the grouping settings, let users pick:
  • AND logic (current behavior): Groups tasks only when all tags match.
  • OR logic (new option): Groups tasks in all relevant tag groups based on individual tags.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just a small tweak—it’s a game-changer for task management. Most users don’t expect tag grouping to exclude tasks with additional tags. Adding an AND/OR switch would make tagging much more powerful and intuitive for everyone.
