I also created a new request complementing this....

I totally agree here, this is very lacking.

We need the ability to enforce that estimated time is tracked on status changed. We could use this for other fields as well.

This could be added as an automation. It is what we are doing now, but we can only notify that the estimated time field must be filled it..

This is not good enough!!

I found 4 other tasks which are similar one which could be rolled up into 1 feature. There probably is more though.

Add requirements before status changes

Required / Mandatory Fields to close a task, including Comments

Required field based on status not only on creation

A bit broader:

Mandatory fields

I see currently that Wrike natively supports this and several other project management applications have work-arounds for this feature.

Still need something like this in 2025

This seriously needs to be added. Wild that it doesn't exist.

I have a current workaround: Set up an automation that returns the task to the "New" status (or whatever status you want) if moved to done/complete and is missing a certain required field.

Set up this automation for every individual required field as you can't have an "or" in the "when" section ffs. 🙄 Maybe one day clickup automation will be useful.

I also have it set to comment on the task that there is something missing, assign the user that tried to move it to the done section, and set a priority tick.

This is something that Jira has and ClickUp doesn't, and is one of the few features keeping us there instead of moving to ClickUp. I bet that there are many other companies with the same concern.

It would be very beneficial to have the ability to mark a custom field as required field, in addition to the current existing ability that only applies for creation of the tasks, but rather as a requisite before closing.

Example: I have a custom field for T-Shirt estimation of the level of effort involved on the ticket, this is something that is unknown once we create the ticket, hence I can't request as mandatory when creation, but is something that I need to make sure it's filled before having the ticket closed, for internal reporting purposes.

agreed please add the feature

Absolutely necessary feature

I agree with this. There are apps out there like Pipefy and Kissflow that do this very well. Was hoping to see this in ClickUp 3.0

Agreed! this feature is very important for my process!
