Currently, only Lists support email-to-task via a unique email address. The Personal List (the default private task area each user has) does not. This creates friction for users who want to forward tasks straight from email into their personal ClickUp space without creating a separate private List. Use Case • Forward tasks directly from email into the Personal List. • Keep consistency: all user-facing Lists (including Personal) should support email-in. • Reduce workarounds and setup steps for new users. Benefit Increases usability and adoption of Personal Lists as a true personal inbox, aligning them with how other Lists already function.

Current behavior: When sorting a List view by a Custom Field (e.g., a Dropdown field called "Phases"), the sort only applies to top-level/parent tasks. Subtasks remain grouped under their parent task and are not reordered based on the Custom Field value. This means a subtask with Phase "1 - Pre-Production" can appear visually between subtasks with Phase "2 - Production" or "3 - Post-Production" because the sort is ignored at the subtask level. Expected behavior: When a sort is applied to a Custom Field on a List view, subtasks nested under a parent task should also be sorted by that same field within their parent group. The nesting/hierarchy should be preserved (subtasks remain under their parent), but their order within the nest should respect the active sort. Why this matters: We manage development projects where each parent task is a project and each subtask is a module. Modules move through phases (Pre-Production → Production → Post-Production → Done). We need to see modules nested under their project for context, but sorted by phase so we can quickly identify what stage each module is in. Currently the only option is to display subtasks "as separate tasks", which breaks the project-module relationship and makes the view unusable for project tracking. Workaround attempted: Displaying subtasks as separate tasks does allow sorting, but removes the parent-child grouping which is essential for our workflow.

Feature Request: Text Wrap / Multi-line Task Name Display in List View and Table View Problem: When task names are long (especially common in non-English languages like Japanese, where task names tend to be longer than English equivalents), the task name gets truncated in both List View and Table View. Users have to hover or click into each task just to read the full name, which significantly slows down scanning and reviewing. Proposed Solution: Add a "Text Wrap" or "Row Height" option for the task name column in List View and Table View that allows: Auto-wrap: Task names wrap to 2 or more lines based on column width, similar to how spreadsheet applications (Excel, Google Sheets) handle cell content. Fixed multi-line height: A setting to fix the task name row height to 2 lines (or a user-chosen number of lines), so all rows display consistently while showing more of the task name. Why this matters: Project management tasks in research, government, and enterprise contexts often have long, descriptive names that cannot be shortened without losing meaning. Non-English languages (Japanese, German, etc.) naturally produce longer task names than English. Currently, Table View offers a Row Height setting, but it only increases vertical space without wrapping the task name text, making it only partially useful. This feature would dramatically improve readability and reduce the need to click into individual tasks, especially when reviewing large task hierarchies. Suggested implementation: Add a "Wrap text" toggle in Customize → Layout options for both List View and Table View. Optionally allow users to set the maximum number of visible lines (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or auto). Thank you for considering this. It would be a huge quality-of-life improvement for teams managing complex, multi-level project structures.

It would be great to be able to add Sections to Lists. This could also be thought of as grouping certain tasks within lists. Sometimes you want tasks to be in one list, but also be able to group them/put them in to sections, so you can better chunk them. For example, I make films, and I would like a list for a film to be able to be grouped in to "Development", "Pre-Production", "Production", "Post Production", "Release". It isn't suitable in this instance for me to make each film have its own project and then make individual lists, because I group film types as projects. For instance, I have a Project "Short Films", then each short film is a list. It would not work having a Project for each film, as the project list would be huge. This is something that can be done in Asana, and is very useful.

From support: It would be nice if we could merge Lists. You can select multiple tasks with the Multitask Toolbar, but this is less effective when your List is larger. Even selecting select all requires to load all tasks which can take a while.

When using "Group by" in List view, each group currently blends together with only a header and whitespace as separation. It would be great to have an optional visual border or card outline around each group, similar to how cards appear in Board view. This would make it much easier to visually distinguish groups at a glance, especially in views with many groups or when presenting to stakeholders. A simple toggle in the view's Group settings (e.g. "Show group borders") would be ideal.

The list template my workplace uses has multiple "01. #####-[specific job here]" tasks, where I have to fill in the project number every time. If there was a search and replace all feature that would make it so much faster. It can't be a batch option because only part of the task titles need to be changed.

Can be cumbersome to select the list every time. Some folders are used more than others in Everything View

FEATURE REQUEST SUMMARY We are requesting a warning or confirmation prompt when a task or subtask is re-nested under a different parent in a way that automatically changes its home list. CURRENT BEHAVIOR When a task or subtask exists in multiple lists and is re-nested under a different parent task in a secondary list, ClickUp silently removes it from its original home list with no warning, confirmation dialog, or undo notification. Specifically: • Tasks: Re-nesting a task under a new parent in List B automatically removes it from List A (its home list) and reassigns List B as the new home list — without any user prompt. • Subtasks: The same behavior occurs for subtasks. Re-nesting under a new parent in List B removes the subtask from its original home list in List A. In both cases, the task or subtask is not deleted, but because there is no notification of the home list change, users believe the task has disappeared. USER IMPACT This behavior has caused significant confusion among our users, who interpret the silent home list change as tasks being lost or deleted. This erodes trust in the platform and creates unnecessary troubleshooting overhead for our team. REQUESTED BEHAVIOR We would like ClickUp to introduce a confirmation prompt or warning notification when a re-nesting action is about to change a task's home list. Ideally, this would look something like: "Nesting this task under a new parent will change its home list from [List A] to [List B]. This will remove it from [List A]. Do you want to continue?" This small change would: Prevent accidental and unintended home list changes. Give users a clear opportunity to confirm or cancel the action. Improve transparency around how multi-list task management works. Reduce user confusion and support escalations related to "missing" tasks. We hope this is a relatively low-lift UX improvement that would have a meaningful impact on user experience, particularly for teams managing tasks across multiple lists. We hope this can be considered for a future update.

The issue is with the bulk selection of tasks and sub-tasks. In addition, to the copy and pasting of tasks/sub.. a simple ctrl+c then a ctrl+v as any other application would be much better as a user exp. The duplication and the moving of tasks/sub.. is a nightmare!!
