Ability to show/hide custom fields based on the value of other custom fields. A simple option to "Show if" condition when creating new custom fields.

Summary / Why we’re requesting this We are a law firm using ClickUp to manage matter workflows across multiple practice areas. Our workflow requires filling out Custom Fields progressively as a matter moves through stages. For our team to work efficiently and avoid missing key information, we need the Custom Field section on a task to remain in a consistent, predictable order throughout the life of the matter. Right now, Custom Fields rearrange themselves automatically based on filled vs empty, and also get reshuffled during stage changes and template application. This is not just cosmetic; it breaks our ability to quickly confirm what is done vs missing and creates real operational risk. Our setup (real example)In one practice area, a single matter task includes 18 Custom Fields, in a specific order we rely on, including: • Stage field • Plan Type field • Plan Price field • Notes field • 2 AI fields (Next Due, Next Steps) • 8 custom date fields that are filled in as we progress (initial consultation, meeting dates, drafting dates, engagement dates, signing dates, etc.) • A client intake vault link field (URL) • Phone field • 2 email fields We are setting up five practice areas with different sets of Custom Fields [the example above is just for ONE area] (some reused CF across practice areas). Standardizing and locking field order becomes even more important at this scale. What’s happening now (problem details)–We pin our fields, but the order still changes repeatedly due to system behavior such as: Filled vs empty sorting: As we populate date fields over time, fields shift from “empty pinned” to “filled pinned,” which changes the order and forces users to hunt for fields. Stage changes: We have several stages per practice area. The main matter task functions as the “home” for the overall project and houses the stage progression, while stage changes can generate related tasks/subtasks. When we change stages, the custom fields rearrange due to how field display/hierarchy behaves. Templates: Applying templates during stage changes does not preserve Custom Field display order, so the layout resets or reshuffles again. Actual vs Expected Actual: • Pinned Custom Fields move around when they change from empty to filled. • Stage changes and applying templates can reset or reorder the Custom Field layout. • Result: the Custom Field section “shuffles” throughout the matter lifecycle, which is disruptive and increases the risk of missing key dates and client info. Expected: • Add a “LOCK” option to lock Custom Field display order in tasks so fields stay exactly in the sequence we set. • The locked order should ignore filled/empty sorting (filled fields should not jump to a different section/order). • Stage changes and template application should not change the locked Custom Field order. • Ideally: templates should be able to save/restore field display order, or the lock setting should override any template-driven reordering. Impact We rely on these fields as a live checklist of matter progress. If the order is stable, a user can open the task and instantly see what dates/details are complete vs missing. When the order continually changes, it slows work, creates confusion, and makes ClickUp difficult to use for our practice-area workflows.

Request: Please expose the “Email to this task” address as a task field that can be shown in views and referenced like Task ID. Ideally it would be available as: A built-in column/field (similar to Task ID), and/or A Custom Field value that can be added to Lists and used in Automations, templates, and exports. Why: Many teams route external emails into ClickUp and need the per-task email address visible for quick copy/paste, documentation, and integrations, without opening the task menu each time. Notes/constraints: If the email address is user-specific, it would still be useful to expose “my email-to-task address” for the task, and optionally a workspace setting to expose a shared canonical address if available.

Convert Labels to Dropdowns. We can do it the other way in 3.0, but we need to be able to convert a Label into a Dropdown Menu.

I have created many custom fields. It would be great if we can rearrange the custom fields so it will display as we wanted to in the task As you can see in bullet 1, 2, and 3, I have arranged the fields in order Approval Complete Status. But right now, all those fields don't display as order as I wanted, you can see Bullet A, B, and C so you know what I mean

I currently have a custom dropdown field, which has a few hundred options in it. Right now I would have to click "Edit" to open the window and have to manually by hand copy/paste one option at a time onto a separate list. I would like to be able to copy paste to update the total list of dropdown options and not have duplicates.

I send emails to nonmembers and guest all of the time to track conversations with potential and current clients. It would be awesome to separate multiple emails by a comma or semicolon. I often have a team client as a task and there are multiple parties on each communication or a communications email and a billing email. Additional emails currently have to be stored in other fields or multiple unnecessary email fields take up space in other tasks that don't need them.

We would like the ability to choose if a dropdown or custom drop down is sorted by the order it was entered in or in alpha/numeric order.

I have some constants that I would like to be available globally, especially for calculated fields. Use case example. We tracks some expenses, subscriptions etc in CLickUp. Not all are billed in local currancy, some are in USD. So I want to have an exchange rate variable that can be set somewhere and then be used in calculations. Example Local Currency Amount = field("USD Amount") * constant("USD ZAR Exchange Rate")

I would like to request the ability to create custom fields that are unique to a specific Space within ClickUp, rather than having them available across the entire Workspace. This feature would greatly enhance our ability to organize and manage data more effectively, reducing clutter and improving workflow efficiency. It feels like a basic functionality that would benefit many users. Thank you for considering this request!
