Ordering of custom fields in task
Quinn Danyluk
When custom fields are created, the order of the fields can be customized in the Manage custom fields for the list view. However, this does not translate to the order that the custom fields appear in the task (which is set strictly to an alphabetical order). The order in the task should be customizable and reflect the order in the Manage custom fields.

Hi all - thanks for the feedback on this! We currently allow for either A-Z ordering for custom fields, or drag/drop manual reordering; however, there is a certain order that is always respected today: Required Custom Fields, Pinned Custom Fields, Custom Fields w/ values, Custom Fields w/o values.
I'd love to hear from you here on how you would like to see this ordering work for custom fields across your Workspace to best enable your workflows across teams!

A serious downgrade for me. I've been using ClickUp for many years; I stopped using ClickUp for a few months in between jobs, and it was a complete and quite disappointing surprise that we LOST this previously existing feature to reorder CFs (because I reordered fields all the time in ClickUp for a very long time!).
Allowing users to sort alphabetically as an option is great - but DECIDING to do so on our behalf is not! I really hope this gets picked up soon as I'd love to keep recommending ClickUp to new businesses I work with.

Please include this. This and having multiple task status templates in one list (useful for subtasks to have a different status template than the parent task) are some of the only things holding this back from working perfectly for my company.

What determines the two custom fields that are shown in the Slack app Create Task form in slack?
Currently i only have two required custom fields and only one is displaying in the Create Task slack form. If only 2 custom fields are allowed in the slack form, why wouldn't they default to the required fields first? Why is a non-required custom field the one that is displaying over the required custom field? I'd really love to know how to adjust to affect the slack form.
Would really like ability to configure custom fields and the default fields for that matter in the Slack form. Esp which are optional vs required.

I'm brand new to CU, still testing to see if we want to use it. Reading through this thread, do I understand correctly that the custom fields in this task, which is a contact card (pic attached), are always going to display alphabetically, and there is no way to re-order them? In what situation does this make sense?

Manual Sort Option for Custom Fields in Task View
Kolton White
The Custom Fields within the Task View defaults to sorting by Alphabetical order. It would be great to be able to manually sort them so as to customize the order for what makes the most sense for the List its in.
For Example, it would make more sense to group some of these in order: (see attached screenshot):
- Using custom fields to gather text information like Imagery or Copy for design requests from a form, and have them next to each other in this list, ideally towards the top
- having something important like a second date field (publish date in ex) at top of list
- correlated link fields (working asset link and final asset link) sequentially in order and towards the bottom of the list.
Hope that makes sense!

Allow custom sorting of custom fields in task view
Kristian Kleemann
We want to be able to sort the custom fields pr location, so that it follows the list view sorting. The attached images show how the order of custom fields varies from the list view to the task view.

Also, in the task view, the ability for our user to see a selected number of custom fields at first glance, rather than all of them, is a very, very important issue. Currently, when we have 50 custom fields in a list, first of all, all sections for which values have been set are displayed to the user, many of which are not mandatory, and furthermore, they cannot be arranged in order. For example, I want the user not to see the buttons in the image below when opening the task, or at least not at first glance, but such an option practically doesn't exist, and the only solution is to hide them for some teams and grant access to others, which practically ruins many of my other views.

Still no on mobile v5.4.8(26226) the custom fields only allow A-Z ordering, so I need to add letters before de actual custom field name to order like I need (like I manually reordered in the Desktop version).
