Time Blocking
planned
R
Ramón Campos
I would like to be able to drag the same task in the calendar in several intervals to block the time of its completion, without having to create several.
A task does not have to be done in a single interval, otherwise there is no point in the calendar.

Just noticed this is on the roadmap for this year! Great to see!
Anthony C. Any chance this could be marked as "In Progress" on here?

Guy Mannerings: I'll update the status to planned. We typically don't change to in progress until actual engineering work is underway. This is on the roadmap for the newly formed calendar squad at ClickUp, but my squad will work to support them since this will be tied with the time tracking and scheduling work we are doing. Lots of good stuff coming for calendars so stay tuned!

Omit hours outside of work day when scheduling tasks

I make a new task, let's say "Frontend Dev" and I give it an estimation of 3 days. When I then go into Time View, I drag and drop the task on the calendar where I want to spread it over 3 working days. But when I drop it, it generates one block which also runs through the night.

This is why our team still uses Sunsama. It fills this important hole in our day-to-day work.

I'd love to be able to schedule my tasks on my Calendar based on it's time estimate when dragging it from the Assigned to Me card onto a Calendar Card on the Home section.

Running into needing this feature, weekly

There is an external tool for this but, it would be nice to have something from ClickUp themselves.

michiel saey: I checked this out but I don't think this is what is being asked for here. This tool is for tracking time spent on a task - what we need is a system that allows for more flexible scheduling and future planning.

The real problem is that ClickUp treats Due Dates as BOTH a Due Date and a "Day to work on" a task.
This becomes problematic because it works as a Due Date for some views and some setups, but works like "date to work on" for other views and other setups.
(Plus similar issue with Start Dates.)
This is exacerbated by the fact you can't use Custom Field dates in exactly the same way as the Start and Due dates across the whole of ClickUp - automations, some views, the Home - My Work widget, etc. This means there is no true workaround.
I think ClickUp NEEDS to treat Start Date and Due Date as actual, hard, start and due dates - i.e., ones that rarely change.
Then it needs additional "day/time to start working on" and "day/time to finish working on" fields - where you can have as many as you want. This would allow you to create time blocks to work on tasks that then don't affect the main Start and Due Dates.

Yes yes please !
To organize one's day/week (especially with a calendar view), you easily get overwhelmed by all the tasks that are still pending at this date...
And instead of keeping us organized and focus, we may get overwhelmed and demotivated (I surely do).
Quite opposite of what we expect with this tool right?
We need the possibility to easily divide a task in sessions without changing its start date and due date!
I would love to just drag a task to my calendar to make it a session.
I made a quick screenshot to show it.
-> Instead of having all you pending task above your calendar, set them on the right side (green today box in the screenshot / this week/month according to you calendar view)
-> Drag it to your calendar (with a keyboard shortcut?) to make an hour session out of it (not change the task itself but within the task in comment area for example)
-> you could easily make it longer/shorter as it is already possible in calendar view.
It could even be better and compare the sessions time duration with the estimated time and the tracked time to make it visually evident where you're at.
But I'll be already super happy with just the possibility to make work sessions out of a task. It is really really really important and needed.
Brian Shen any news?
