Yes, I love this but it closes every time I leave a task it should stay open permanently

Yes! Subtasks, checklists, and assigned comments should all live in the sidebar instead of in their current "Subtasks" and "Action Items" tabs. Then Custom Fields and Attachments would always be visible without switching tabs or scrolling!

Also, the "Closed" toggle button toggles Done status Subtasks on and off. It should not affect Done status Subtasks - it should only affect Closed status ones.

The point of Done status items is that they show where Closed ones don't, so this button should not turn them on and off.

I like that idea of using it for checklists – having the choice of showing them in the sidebar would be great for where we use the latter and don't want to keep switching between Details/Subtasks/Action Items tabs, especially for consistent utility with tasks which don't have subtasks themselves.

Ideally the sidebar would have a toggle button to show/hide checklists above the subtasks list, with the ability to expand/collapse individual checklists – so you could see checklists a bit like tasks (with their X out of Y completion next to their name), or as nested item lists similar to the current parent/subtask sidebar view – so it's not an all-or-nothing of them pushing the actual subtask list too far down.

Methinks the sidebar also needs an option or adjustment to not have a minimum width beyond which it becomes an auto-closing flyout over the task rather than a sidebar adjacent to it. It's rather annoying to want a persistent three column task detail view (subtasks|task|activity), have plenty of space to do so, yet things like sidebar elements hit break points far too early due to issues of mobile-based UI arrangement not playing nice with desktop resolution scaling on large displays.

Being able to change the status directly in the sidebar would be great! If we could also see the due date that would be awesome and saves me from having to use the tabs at the bottom of the custom fields.

Task layout shortcuts too! For switching between the new Sidebar, Fullscreen, and Default task layout. https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/switching-task-view-layouts-keyboard-shortcuts

THIS!! I use this sidebar so much so having it not remember the open/closed state is super frustrating. Especially since the interface in general is a bit slow. :(

Although a shortcut would be nice I don't think it can replace remembering state though.

I'd love to see this as an option when viewing tasks using the sidebar layout too please

And, I would like to be able to change the status of a subtask (and checklist items) in the sidebar directly. This would be such a performance boost

FWIW

if you can inject some JS...

this does the trick:

document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {

if (event.altKey && event.shiftKey && event.key === 'Q') {

if(null != document.querySelector("cu-task-view-subtasks-sidebar button")) {

document.querySelector("cu-task-view-subtasks-sidebar button").click();

} else if(null != document.querySelector("cu-task-view-subtasks-sidebar-toggle button")) {

document.querySelector("cu-task-view-subtasks-sidebar-toggle button").click();

}

}

});

ALT + SHIFT +Q

I know... dirty.... but efficient
