Natural language for entering task due dates, priority, tags and project
completed
Pascal Zweipfenning
One of the great features of Todoist is the possibility of entering tasks using natural language including labels, due dates and the project. All can be added without a single click. This and the mobile app is one of the reasons I switched back to Todoist (hopefully for a short period).

It's been nearly 8 years since Slash commands have been implemented. In a push for more AI, this thread is still INCOMPLETE from the original request, which is to use natural language on a task. A task written as "Complete PowerPoint deck by Friday and mark high priority" should create a task of "Complete PowerPoint deck" with a due date set for Friday and a priority of High. Echoing others that Todoist makes this so simple for entering tasks.

This definitely isn't complete Zeb.

Has anyone used Todoist? It handles this well.
For a company focused on task management, project management, and work execution, this should be a priority. It’s core to ClickUp’s mission and aligns with their values, especially 1, 3, 7, and 10.

Zeb i think you missundertood something.

Hey, Marco Hanke! Jumping in for Zeb! Can you share more details about what you're looking for with this feature request?

Luci N. I think he's saying that it's not a proper "natural language" but rather a slash command.
Natural language : "tomorrow at 5am #emails !important answer to emails"
Slash commands (used by Clickup) : /due to ...
popup opens
type date in natural language
and then /m move to popup opens
type list
/priority popup opens
select a priorityIt's actually not the same experience at all and bring much more friction which doubles or triple the input time compared to Todoist or Ticktick.

I don't think this is complete, it just gives a quick short cut, todoist does a lot that we can do everything on a single line, that is the only reason i can't switch out of it to anything else :(

I don't understand how the clickup team can consider these requests to add natural language task creation as "complete!" The "slash entry" method is a step up from having to click on each entry item, but it is still very time-consuming and confusing.
This is one of the 4 areas where ToDoIst WAY outperforms clickup, and for that reason I am keeping my subscription to Todoist active while I try converting to clickup.
(fwiw, the other 3 places where Todoist way outperforms clickup are (2) Views (completely customizable, multi-level sorting/filtering, etc); (3) Simplicity & space-efficiency of how task lists & details are displayed (clickup is so freaking complicated, with checklists & subtasks & comments & descriptions.... at least let the user choose what s/he wants to see!); and (4) ease & usability of tags.
