Option to hide empty lists.

We'd like to have an option to hide empty lists (i.e. contain only tasks, which are currently excluded by filters. Or, if no filters are selected, only contain "closed" tasks).
Edit: I mean the "list" overview, not the lists in the "projects" panel.

Hey ClickUppers!
Since this request is tagged complete and had to do with "list description" for ClickUp 1.0, It would be better if you can vote and provide feedback in this request, instead!
This way it would be better and easier for us to update you on the status.
Thank you!

We already have the option to show/hide list description!

Waleed Elaghil: I'm confused as to how we can hide the empty lists? I can't see it anywhere
Waleed Elaghil
Hey Zoë! You can hide Lists by archiving them. The best part is that tasks in archived Lists are preserved and are still searchable!
Here's a quick GIF to show you how to do it 🙂

Waleed Elaghil: This GIF shows archiving one list manually. Archiving tasks was already possible right? And this does not hide empty lists automatically? So then I'd argue that this feature is not complete.. Or am I missing something here?
Waleed Elaghil
Hey Zoë! This feature request was an old one before having the option to even archive one List and doesn't include automatically in the description and that's why we decided to close it.
However, for archiving empty Lists automatically, I've already added you as a voter to this post to keep you updated 🙂,
For archiving Lists in bulk, I've also added you to this post! https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/bulk-actions-on-lists

Waleed Elaghil: I just want them invisible in the sidebar until tasks are added to it. So not archived

Yes please!

Agreed! Having a quick toggle for 'Hide empty lists' similar to hide closed tasks will come in very handy since often I have multiple lists under a folder that sometimes have open tasks and some times not. When viewing everything in the folder and trying to see whats left to work on these empty lists get in the way and make the page extra long.
A toggle will help since sometimes you do need to see the empty lists for quickly adding a task without opening that list.

This would be very much appreciated if implemented

This would be great. I've set up project templates for each client that has lists that are often empty (no tasks). All these empty lists get in the way when trying to look at the overview. Thanks!

Zeb: Is this still on the to-do list?

Michael Peacock: On the way!

Michael Peacock: I don't see this feature yet but I got around by setting up a filter in my "Space" view (space view shows folders - my clients - and lists - my client specific projects), the Filter is "Where Created By is [select all users]". My thinking here was, empty tasks aren't created by anybody. And this effectively hides all empty Folders from view - only showing tasks that are created by someone. And every task has to be created by someone!

Hey Ashia Boyce! If you're looking for a manual way to hide Lists, I would recommend archiving lists: https://docs.clickup.com/en/articles/1317465-archive-and-unarchive-spaces

Waleed Elaghil: Hi, When I am in my List View (I'm starting on ClickUp just now), I get the whole list of lists... is there a Task view? I don't care to see a whole list of my lists especially if I currently don't have tasks in them. Also. Is there any way to stop ClickUp from automatically creating an empty Task? It is truly annoying, especially since I don't see how to delete it (not archive an empty task!). And having to toggle the List closed to not have that glaring and annoying empty Task in view, means I won't be able to see actual active tasks in my list view. How will I know when you answer?

Hey there Sebastian! Great suggestion! Right now, you can do this from the "Me" mode. I'll leave this suggestion open for the "Team" mode.

Tarun Masani: As I use Clickup all by my lonesome, this is a great suggestion! Thanks!

Tarun Masani: Could you please explian how to "do this from the Me mode"? Do you mean I can can do this when I am viewing only the tasks assigned to me? How?

Tarun Masani: Its a way, but not perfect. Thanks for now!
