Currently, when a user applies a template and does not have permission to access one of the tasks included in that template, ClickUp simply does not create that task.
This behavior is problematic because it means that the result of applying the same template depends on the permissions of the person applying it. A template should create the complete predefined task structure regardless of the individual user's access permissions.
Expected behavior:
All tasks included in the template should always be created.
If the user applying the template does not have permission to access a particular task, the task should still be created, but shown to that user as restricted/locked. The user should not be able to see the task name, description, custom fields, comments, attachments, or any other restricted information.
For example, ClickUp could display a placeholder such as:
🔒 Restricted task
This would preserve both:
the integrity and consistency of the template, and
the existing permission and privacy rules.
A user's permissions should determine what they can see, not whether the template creates the task at all.
This is especially important for standardized company workflows where templates may contain tasks for different departments or permission groups.
