Feature Requests

Problem: Custom fields can become messy when you have different types of work (tasks) within the same lists. For example, having a bug, feature, and an epic task all in the same list would cause them all to have the same custom fields, even though I would want specific ones for each type. Other issues arise when fields that should only belong to the top-level task spread down to all its subtasks. Ask: Custom fields should have the option to be added to a custom task type itself. Whenever I create a new task of that type, it will come along with all its custom fields. Those fields will not spread to any task that is not of that type.

When a Task is linked, or a Custom Relationship is added, the Task name should be visible.

Problem: We manage different types of work within ClickUp, and how sections are organized in ClickUp Tasks do not always work across each type. In some tasks, for example I want subtasks and fields front and center, while in others, I need to bring relationships front and center. Ask: Give the ability to have a different task layout for each task type. This would allow each type to have a layout that is better organized for that type of work.

At the moment, task types are Workspace-wide. However, different teams have different needs as far as task types, which is why Space-level or private options would be optimal. For example, an HR team wouldn't rely on the same task types as an IT team. Each department may have sensitive information in their workflows (represented by a task type) that they don't want other teams to have visibility on.

It would be great if in the Task View we could have the ability to customize (globally) the columns that we see next to each task. By default it is Assignees, Priority, and Due Date, with an option to manually add in columns, but that doesn't translate globally. I think a separate global setting for this would be a great addition as a lot of us are looking at start date and due date, not just due date.

Problem: Often within a single list, we have different types of tasks: some represent projects, designs, and smaller action items. Each one should go through their own set of statuses, but this is currently not possible. We are forced to either use dropdown custom fields as a workaround or create large status sets to try and encompass everything, leading to confusion among people. Ask: Give the ability for statuses to be set by type. This will allow each task type to have its own status workflow.

Hi ClickUp team, I would love to have the ability to group columns by List in the Board view, not just by Status. This feature would allow me to visualize each List as a separate column within a folder, making it much easier to manage and move tasks between different Lists in a Kanban-style workflow. Currently, the Board view only allows grouping by Status, Assignee, Priority, etc., but not by List. Having this option would greatly improve my workflow, as I often organize my projects using multiple Lists within a folder and need to see them side by side in a single board. This functionality is essential for my process, and I believe it would benefit many other users as well. Thank you for considering this improvement!

Have Subtasks have their own separate Custom Fields (e.g. parent task has CF x,y,z while subtasks don't have those custom fields but instead have none or their own applied custom fields). This would be a major improvement for usecases like projects: The project (parent task) holds all the high level project information Subtasks of a project are clear tasks/deliverables for assignees. Currently each subtask of a project is bloated with empty high level custom fields from the parent task.

I think it's nice to also have an option that you can hyperlink within a checklist just like hyperlinking in the comments section
