I have a couple of custom columns that gives context and reference to the Task name.

Would be nice if we could calculate custom fields colums.

🚀 Custom Fields are now available in the Gantt!

You can now use your own data in the Gantt View. Learn more here.

Here's an overview of what to expect:

Custom Fields as Table Columns
: Add custom fields using our fields sidebar.
Color Task Bars
: Use dropdown or multi-select fields to color-code tasks.
Sort & Filter by Custom Fields
: Easily organize and focus on what matters most.

We’d love to hear your thoughts—try it out and share feedback directly on this post. Your input helps shape what’s next. 🙏

Juan Grandas Very happy with the release of this feature! However, I think I’ve found a bug. Sorting by a task's 'labels' doesn’t always work. There aren’t any subtasks with labels different from the main task, but for some reason, one main task isn’t sorting correctly. Could there possibly be an underlying sort based on the status of the tasks?

So good!

Thank you Laura!!!

Colin Miller

Juan Grandas Well done on this one, it's great.

Hey Juan
Just noticed that Tags is not available for Gantt
We use Tags heavily. 
Is this planned to be added?

Guy Mannerings

Juan Grandas Tags would be good, yes.

Juan Grandas Any news on this topic? in September, you wrote "We are in the final stages of development for adding custom fields to the Gantt View.  
This update is coming soon. ". In October you wrote "We're currently working through the final test case" and "We'll continue to provide updates on our progress through this channel."
Can you send us any updates?

Hi Károly Molnár CAV,  
Thanks for your message!  
Development on this feature is complete. We just wrapped up some infrastructure work to ensure stability of this feature.  While we worked on these backend improvements we also managed to include some additional functionality: coloring by custom field values and sorting support for all custom relevant custom fields in the Gantt.  
The feature has been fully tested and is ready to go live in the new year. We’ve started a gradual rollout over the holidays and plan to push it to 100% early next year.  
Stay tuned! I’ll post updates here and in related threads as soon as it’s fully live.

Essential - the limited clickup fields here means gotta make this in excel every time need to show the fields we want - any movement on this?

Its essential for my client's workflow to have CFs viewable in the Gantt view. Without it, the team needs to open each task individually!

This is stopping me from getting my org bought in to use the platform at the moment - we need to have custom fields visible in the columns for RACI and % completion management, otherwise it can't do what we need.

We will likely change our company platform back to MS project if this function is not implemented in a few months.

Hello. Do you have an ETA for this release?

Kate Rodgers-McAdam

Being able to use custom fields would be very useful.
