Work by Day (daily effort editing)
beta
André Kallehauge
The ability to set custom hours to any day that you have the task planned for. e.g. 6,6,4,0,8
Original description:
For now if I have a task with estimate 27h Click up will divide it equally for all days. So if I think this task will take me 4 days it will be divided 6:45 for each day. This is wrong approach because most likely I will be working 3 full days (8hours each) and rest 3 hours on 4th day.
So I wish to change how workload is divided throughout a chosen period.

I'm trilled to announce that that very soon you'll be the first to experience the most epic Workload view update in years 🚀
We’ve turned Workload into a
pro-grade resource management platform
. With Work by Day
, you can plan and tweak effort for each task per day
—right inside Workload— balancing teams finally feels easy
.Why this slaps
- Type hours right into each dayof a task—precise, fast, no subtasks. See how capacity lights up green right before your eyes.
Two smart modes:
-
Keep Task Effort
→ preserve the total and redistribute
across days 8 8 8 8 8 → 9 9 9 9 4
-
Keep Task Effort OFF
→ change a day and let the total update
8 8 8 8 8 → 8 8 8 8 4
- Real-time totals & capacityupdate as you edit—over/underload pops instantly.

Vasil Enchev wow! Can't wait when this will be available. Do you have ETA?
Dave Montrose
Vasil Enchev - this is great news. Will we be able to set what time these are worked on, like in calendar view so it syncs to the users calendar? This would be a gamechanger if it works like float.com (we've seriously considered moving to float + asana purely for this). And does it warn you when you've booked more than the estimated time (/budget) for the task? Looking forward to using it. Keeping tasks and projects on track/budget is something we really struggle to do with ClickUp.

This looks promising Vasil Enchev, can't wait!
Vasil Enchev
Mateusz Konieczny: No date at this point but aiming for last week of November, things are taking shape now but we want to polish this experience as much as possible before sharing with everyone here.
Vasil Enchev
Dave Montrose: Good thinking! There is actually a master plan, a related feature coming to Calendar, the goal is to see suggestions when to work on each task which is already planned and those suggestions to be with the duration of the daily estimate provided. You will be able to pin or manually change times as well from the Calendar. However, I can't comment on ETA for that.

Does this mean work sessions will finally be decoupled from Due Date?
Right now, Workload view works by changing the Start and Due Date. Start and Due Date should be
FIRM
and rarely
move.So will Workload view (and others - Planner, Calendar, etc) now allow Tasks to be shown by their WORK SESSION dates instead of Due Date?
Vasil Enchev
Guy Mannerings Yes and no. Tasks remain anchored to their start and due dates. You can adjust daily hours—including setting a day to 0—to create gaps. We’re also adding task splitting: each split stays within the start–due window, and if you move a chunk outside it, the task’s start/due dates update accordingly. Net result: you can have sizable gaps while staying in sync with task dates.

Vasil Enchev, I've signed up to the beta as well. Can't wait to see this in action!
Guy Mannerings
Vasil Enchev Not sure the due date should change because you set a split after it.
- You might do it be accident and cause a ripple of problems without realising.
- I prefer to know the original due date and know I went behind. It's better for tracking purposes.
- Accuracy. The Due date doesn't change just because I am late with it - the due date is still the same. I am simply late. Due date should only move if the user moves it.
Hope that makes sense!
Guy Mannerings
Vasil Enchev Also, do you have to manually set individual days to 0 hours? Or can you simply choose individual days to work on something?
How you described it sounds like, if we were to split 20 days apart, we would have to manually go through 19 days marking them as 0 time.
Or have I misunderstood that?
To me, the best system is simply to hit a "create work session" button on a Task, then use the calendar to pick a date and time.

Do we have an implementation date for this feature?

This is another crucial feature for us. Any news of when it will be available?

I'm happy to announce that this is now planned! The ability to set custom hours any day of the week from start to end of the task.

I think the importance to do this is very high. Without a method to forecast work on a different balance than a straight even split we find that some days show in the schedule as artificially low and that can lead to overbooking, which leads to stressed people and leads to lack of confidence in a tool.
Clickup is a fantastic tool so I think this should be a priority so that that deep users keep that fantastic energy they have with it and don't get impacted by what on the surface looks like a small thing, but can have a massive impact to schedules.

I think this one could be merged with: https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/create-several-time-blocks-during-which-i-will-work-on-a-task-instead-of-one-sta

I would love this feature as well. I would love to have it by day, so if the task extends over two weeks, there may be some days allocated with 0 hours and other days dedicated to the task
Chelsea Sequenzia
This would likely accomplish my desire as well, but ideally would like to divide over weeks rather than days. For instance a 10hr task - 5hrs week 1, and 5hrs week 2. (or 4 & 6, etc)

I got the same problem...If the goal of this product is increase productivity it cannot be acceptable to let gaps on workload view...
Pablo Vilches Rodríguez
I too agree with this feature, for my team is important. Thanks a lot!
