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.

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.

I would like ClickUp to support fully customizable Task ID formats, including dynamic components such as date, auto-increment counters, and text patterns. Example desired format: HELPDESK-DDMMYYYY-0001 (e.g., HELPDESK-08122025-0001) Why this matters: Makes IDs more readable for non-technical staff Allows easier tracking of tickets by date without opening the task Helps support teams use human-friendly IDs similar to Jira, Zendesk, etc. Reduces confusion and improves workflow transparency Allows multiple departments to have distinct ID structures Enables internal SOPs that depend on predictable ID formats Requested Capabilities: Ability to insert dynamic values into Task ID (date, time, list name, creator, etc.) Ability to reset counters daily/weekly/monthly Ability to include custom text blocks Ability to format numbers with leading zeros Ability to apply different ID formats by Space / Folder / List This would bring ClickUp’s ID system in line with modern helpdesk and DevOps platforms while keeping IDs meaningful, standardized, and much more intuitive for end users.

why ? because it's always a pain to whenever click anywhere the sidebar disappears earlier it was better please let users decide what they want Note: this feature was there in older version of clickup but not in clickup 4.0 please bring back this feature

please add the feature of to preview text just a note this feature was there in clickup 3.0 but it is not there in clickup 4.0 why ? because we want complete overview of task on one glance not two or three

Longer titles for subtasks are truncated because there is no line break. A line break setting is missing. There is still some room for a better presentation on the left/right.

in List view Please make it possible to sort Subtask when expanded under Task inside a Task Add more sorting option for Subtask, eg: Start date, Custom field, etc. also: what is the Manual ? it seems like its just a meaningless random sorting

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

When you upload a file or attachment to a task, it would be great if you could minimize the task to the task bar and still complete my upload in the background. Or allow other task fields to be edited while the upload is in progress (this was still possible in an earlier version of Clickup)

In ClickUp 4.0, several new features have been added to the Task View (see screenshot). These make the task view feel more cluttered. There should be an option for admins to hide or unhide these extra options.
