Statuses by task type
Ivan Villa
Problem:
Often within a single list, we have different types of tasks: some represent projects, designs, and smaller action items. Each one should go through their own set of statuses, but this is currently not possible.
We are forced to either use dropdown custom fields as a workaround or create large status sets to try and encompass everything, leading to confusion among people.
Ask:
- Give the ability for statuses to be set by type.
- This will allow each task type to have its own status workflow.

Updated Dec 2025:
Aaron Zielinsky No dates yet for this one. We are taking these task-type improvements incrementally, and currently, we are working through custom fields by task type. So once we can get that one out of beta and available for all, then we can pick up another one in the queue :)

Then we can actually use subtasks & custom statuses. Right now these 2 are deadlocked in conflict due to the home list relationship to the parent task/subtask relationship & the custom status. PLEASE APPLY THIS ASAP. Even the biggest clickup influencers say the custom task type is a waste of time, despite how valuable it could be. We have to add hours of development to build sloppy work arounds & for companies like mine who work out of the mobile app, this is a deal breaker. If I didn’t spent thousands of dollars & hundred of hours already to build this, I would be out for this reason alone.

Even the ability to add more than one "Closed" status would be huge (i.e. Launched vs Failure to Launch).

Ivan Villa It's been over a year since the last update. Are there any updates you can share on this. The engagement with this post leads me to believe this is a highly anticipated feature.

status by task type would be great way to allow different statuses for parent task (deal) and subtasks (action items)
Nicole Dupont
Hey Ivan Villa! Any updates here?

Chiming in to ask if there are news about this, Custom Fields by task type was such a game changer - is this on the roadmap somewhere?
David J Geiger
Hey Ivan Villa, the pinned comment says that once custom fields by task type gets out of beta, other task type improvements can be worked on. Does the team know which task type feature it's planning to focus on next?
I know it's been about about a day since custom fields by task type was marked as completed (and that's been such a great feature my team has used a ton during its beta!), so it may be too early to ask that, but I'd love to know what you guys are planning next with task types!
