Subfolders

It would be very convenient to have the ability to have subfolders. I use folders for classifying projects. For example, Projects would be a Folder name. 2019 Projects would be a Subfolder name.

@Jacob Craine: Agreed, Monday just made a big deal about their "Workspaces" release, which it looks like is nothing more than one (only!) extra level of Folder hierarchy (see attached).
I too think Wrike is the only solution that can handle this now, it's a big need though and I'm hopeful what ClickUp comes up with will be similar.

@R C: also to anyone who wants a folder Hierarchy to their chats telegram just released chat folders. After all my research I've only found a few companies that have good folder hierarchy. Liquidplanner (costly), wrike (lacks click ups ui Looks and has trouble with specific metrics like digital marketing analytics integration) and click is just okay. But for now folder Hierarchy matters more if click up.fixes this I will immediately migrate from wrike.

@Jacob Craine: Hey good point I also spent time in Liquid Planner, not only expensive but UX in the dark ages! Have looked at a ton of tools myself and I agree, aside from those two nobody else really can do nested folders. Let's hope ClickUp gets this implemented even more effectively than those guys, great opportunity here!

(1) There should also be options to Expand all / Collapse all folders and Subfolders upto Level-1, Level-2 and 'All Levels'
otherwise expanding / collapsing each folder one by one by hand would be very difficult.
(2) Current state of expand / collapse of Folders, Subfolders Tree must be saved and next time it should be displayed in previously closed state only.
(There should be an option to enable / disable this 'Tree state save' feature)

I definitely need this. Please implement ASAP. The ability to put lists in subfolders is crucial for project management. Thanks!
Dean Phillips
This is great news! So hope this happens soon :)

Sub-folder flexibility is very very important

I am new to the platform, I am so surprised its not a feature already! I've been trying to find ways to organize subfolders. --- This will add great value to the usability and help us organize our spaces more efficiently!
Rogelio Guzman
Yes!!! That is great!!!

We're considering this feature as an optional ClickApp!

@Zeb: Praise the gods.
Matt Fraser
@Zeb: please please please. Before my left hand column explodes

@Zeb: go go go go
Joe
@Zeb: Yes! Please add this! I want to be able to structure my ClickUp folders the same way I do with Finder on my Mac so that everything is congruent.

@Zeb:
Here are some thoughts:
- This should be a business plan feature as extra funds coming from this feature will allow you to dedicate proper time to it
- subfolders statistics should role up to folder statistics: budgets, tasks stats, time forecasted, time spent, etc
- folders based roadmaps should be made available (basically display folders and subfolders on Gantt timeline with folders on vertical axis and subfolders on corresponding horizontal axis
- folders and subfolder dependencies should be made available
- users should be able to display folders and subfolders in a list view with corresponding lists and tasks underneath them. They should as well all roll up to goals

@Cameron Blakey: thank you
Joe
@Zeb: As you consider this subfolder feature, I would also like to see a collapsable outline view (similar to WorkFlowy) where folders and tasks are combined/grouped and can be filtered from there by status, priority, custom fields, etc.
I just created a new feature request for this as well. https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/collapsable-foldertask-outline-view
Andrew Bull
@Zeb: This is fantastic news.

@Zeb: Long Live ClickUP! Will these be an add on module at an additional cost or free if we have the premium account version?
kmk
@Zeb: excellent. I firmly agree with the dire warning of left hand columns exploding!

John Janik
@Zeb: Just so we are on the same page...and I just got confirmation that the request subtasks will share the same parent child hierarchy structure of infinite nested subtasks within subtasks...etc
When we are discussing the Subfolder request...it is basically the same idea of having the ability to nest infinite subfolders within subfolders...etc Correct?

@Zeb: Hey just wanted to jump into this thread. I think we are moving towards a more flexible hierarchy in ClickUp with the addition upcoming of some key features:
- Task Relations:
- Nested Subtasks
...and this request.
Ultimately with ability to relate across ClickUp all entities:
Tasks, Lists, Folders, Goals, Docs, Chats
And also key unlimited nesting with Folders, then Tasks, the flexibility of ClickUp will really take off.
I'm guessing this is a big technical challenge though, as most other apps are either vertical, ie they use hierarchy:
Wrike, Asana, Jira, others
and do relations poorly, or are based on Relations:
Notion, Coda, Airtable, Fibery, ZenKit, and others
and do hierarchy poorly.
I believe it would be great to see ClickUp ultimately evolve where we could get great ability to relate items to one another, with examples like:
- Relate a task to a Folder so you could turn an idea (a task) into a project (A Folder);
- Relate a Folder to a Folder, for example a project dependent on another
- Create Groups of tasks that are customers, with folders: Enterprise in one Folder, SMB's in another, etc. Then, have related tasks to those clients for all the activity, conversations, feature requests, bugs they report, etc.
Thanks and eager to see where all this goes guys!
