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.

When I open a parent task and scroll down to view the subtasks, the "name" column is stretched so wide I can barely see the assignee and can't see the due date at all. I have to manually drag the name column to be narrower every single time in order to see who something is assigned to (or make an assignment) and when it's due (or change the due date). It would be nice to have a way to make the Name column narrower by default so we don't have to do this every time we open a parent task.

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.

It would be great to have a quarterly recurring task Thanks!!

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.

Have the ability to have 2 or more lists like the photo, that aren't shared with the same tasks in both.

This is a small issue for our team - but a big one for me! We're getting used to the hierarchy of ClickUp, but not everyone is 100% yet. This means when people can't find a task or sub-task, they are creating a new task/sub-task - for something that already exists in ClickUp. The merge tool is great for fixing this, but I'd rather prevent it happening altogether as I have to spend time merging tasks and sub-tasks. It would be great if you could have a drop-down list appear when somebody is creating a task or sub-task which shows you similar tasks/sub-tasks in the space you're in. In the same way that typing in the 'Title' field in Canny brings you up a list of suggested posts, ClickUp would look for any tasks or sub-tasks you might be duplicating. Or that you could create a sub-task in instead.

Hello, First, FYI, Clickup performance in general has become poor, as in simply loading the site takes up to a minute as of 2025-02-21. Feature request: Improve performance of opening a task in a new browser tab Currently, and possibly related to general performance issue, when I open a task in new tab via Firefox browser, it takes well over two minutes for the task to display in the new tab. I frequently work on multiple tasks, it is much more productive to be able to open tasks in a new tab as needed. Thanks, Bill

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

It would be useful if we could change the status of the parent task to 'In Progress' or whatever the user chooses when a subtask status is changed. Similarly, if a parent status changes, changing all the subtasks to that status, or an option to change to a specific subtask
