Caroline Ginty Cannot remove default value. It is not saving. Please, fix it.
Caroline Ginty
Alisa Kulik We have a fix for this bug in our testing environment - will be fixed with the next release!

still buggy. Initially I set the default value, but now it is impossible remove the default value. I want users to be required to choose the value each time a task is created instead of automatically inserting the default value. Each time I advance edit and save the the default value "off" - it does not save and fills in the default value. Could you please fix this but in the meantime, please give us a workaround. Thank you, U

awesome! Cheers!! :)
Brett Slaski
This is great, thank you.
Gidi Kadosh
Amazing! Thank you so much for this.
My only complaints:
- The default value isn't applied when creating tasks from the mobile app.
In general, I was hoping that this feature would fill this gap in the mobile app, instead of automations that also aren't applied when creating tasks from the mobile app.
- I didn’t expect default value of dates to be certain dates, but rather as it is in filters: “Today”, “X days from now”, etc.
Guy Mannerings
Caroline Ginty Thanks for this! It would be great if we could set default values on a per-List basis instead of globally. Any chance this could happen?
Caroline Ginty
Guy Mannerings Not at this time, as using Automations is an easy way to accomplish this per list. With that being said, please feel free to create a new feature request for this and we're always open to new ideas!
Guy Mannerings
Caroline Ginty Yes, good point. I have made a request anyway - https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/set-default-value-for-custom-fields-on-a-per-list-basis

Guy Mannerings Could you 'fix' this using templates maybe?

Ryan Hollister
This is exciting, Caroline. Thanks for this! I was wondering (and may have missed this but haven't found it in my search), is there a way to set a default value for task fields that ClickUp provides/created (e.g. Priority)?
Caroline Ginty
Ryan Hollister Not yet, except that you can set it up via Automations to achieve this.

Caroline Ginty Amazing! Excited to try it out!

Caroline Ginty I have already used it today for our workflows. It is super useful, as it eliminates the need to create an automation that would do the same thing. Thanks for listening to us guys

Caroline Ginty does this also work for forms?
Caroline Ginty
Ruud It looks like this isn't working for Forms right now; I'll have the team pick that up since it's intended to work for Forms.

Elizabeth Metivier
Caroline Ginty Awesome! Thank you!

I've set it up, let's see how it works :)
Caroline Ginty
Hi all! We have released this to 20% of Workspaces, and plan to ramp up to 100% by EOW. I'll mark this request as complete one it is fully rolled out. Thank you, and let us know what you think!

Olivia Groell
Caroline Ginty Where should we be looking? Will we be able to create/add these inside the Custom Field Manager or do you have to set them inside an individual list/form? How will they work exactly?
Caroline Ginty
Olivia Groell: You'll see the option to configure default values for existing fields in the edit sidebar in the Custom Field Manager, and you'll also see the option when creating a new Custom Field in the list view sidebar.

Olivia Groell
Caroline Ginty Could you please show an example of how this works? Because it doesn't seem to be defaulting to the value I select when I set up the field.
Caroline Ginty
Olivia Groell It works when creating new Tasks - feel free to record a clip and send it to me cginty@clickup.com and I can help you troubleshoot!
O
Olivia Groell
Caroline Ginty Ok that helps, thanks. Does this only work when you manually create the task? Not when you submit a form submission that includes the "default" task in it?

Olivia Groell Not yet, but we plan to fix this in an upcoming sprint. Thanks!

Caroline Ginty Then this feature shouldn't be marked complete.
