When saving a List as a template, ClickUp automatically saves the explicit user permissions and member access list attached to that source List. When applying that template later, ClickUp forces those exact same users and permission levels onto the newly created List. There is currently no option to strip these permissions. As a result, users who shouldn't have access to the new List are automatically added. We need a toggle or checkbox option when applying (or saving) a template that allows us to completely ignore the template's saved permissions and force the newly created List to inherit the native permissions of the destination Space or Folder it is being dropped into.

I want to be able to select a templated checklist from the get go instead of having to click "Create Checklist" which creates a blank one and then having to select "Checklist from Template." This causes you to end up with an unnecessary blank checklist I always have to delete. It is just one more extra step.

Currently, we have template folders for projects at my organization. We've found that when a new folder is created from that template, the share permissions for other people within our organization are not appropriate. It means that with every new folder creation, we have to manually change the permissions on 20-ish people. Please, please add permissions for the team as part of a template.

I’d love to see a feature in ClickUp that allows users to create a roadmap-style page, similar to ClickUp’s own public roadmap ( https://feedback.clickup.com ). I can see this feature enabling teams to share their projects, statuses and updates with people in a very readable way. AI has helped me sum up the advantages of this: Public Accessibility: A shareable link that allows anyone to view the roadmap (Even if it wasn't public it would still be very helpful) Upvoting: Upvote projects or ideas, providing fast feedback without needing to fill out a form. Project Visibility: A clear, organized view of all projects, categorized by statuses like "Planned," "In Progress," and "Completed." How I will use this: My list of tasks are basically a ticketing system, for people within the company. Each 'Ticket' submitted will benefit the whole of the sales team, so everyone within that team needs to see what is in progress and what is completed, ideally being able to upvote tickets they want done quicker.

Feature Description: I would like the ability to create "Dynamic Templates" that maintain a live connection to their source tasks or source templates. Instead of a template being a static snapshot of a task at the time of creation, it should automatically reflect any future updates made to the original source task. Current Pain Point: Currently, when building a comprehensive "parent" template composed of model subtasks from various teams, the setup is entirely static. If a specific team updates their standard operating procedure (SOP) or model task, the master template does not update. This forces users to manually track down changes and manually rebuild or update the master template to ensure it stays current. Use Case: Imagine a cross-functional project template (e.g., "New Client Onboarding"). This parent template requires subtasks from the Design, Engineering, and Marketing teams. Each team maintains their own "Master Model Task" for their portion of the work. The project manager pulls these into one centralized "Onboarding Template." The desired behavior: If the Design team updates their Master Model Task, those changes should dynamically flow into the centralized "Onboarding Template." Proposed Solution: Add a toggle option when creating a template: "Keep synced with source task." Alternatively, introduce a "Linked Task" feature within templates, allowing us to embed a live version of another task or template as a subtask. Business Impact: This feature would significantly reduce manual maintenance, eliminate version control issues, and ensure that cross-functional workflows are always utilizing the most up-to-date procedures from individual departments.

Each team member on my transaction management team has their own dashboard with cards that function as hotlists for work they need to clear by the end of the day. Sometimes I need to move a card from one team member's dash to another and I can utilized the saved filter feature to make moving them somewhat easier, but some of these table cards have 40+ custom fields in a specific order that is integral to it's functionality. If I could make templates for each custom card on the dash, it would be a game changer for easily creating/moving cards as needed to other dashboards.

Subject: UI Bug/Inconsistency: Checklist Templates Missing from Template Center View Description: I am experiencing a critical visibility issue regarding Checklist Templates. While Task, List, and Folder templates appear in the "Template Center" gallery under "Created by Me," Checklist Templates do not appear there at all, even when all filters (Space, Folder, List, Task, etc.) are selected. Steps to Reproduce: Create a Checklist within a task and select "Save as Template." Open the Template Center (Avatar -> Template Center -> Browse Templates). Filter by "Created by Me." Observe that the Checklist Template is missing from the gallery, making it impossible to manage or delete duplicates globally. Expected Result: Checklist Templates should have their own "Template Type" filter in the sidebar and appear as manageable cards in the Template Center alongside Task and List templates. Actual Result: Checklist Templates are "ghosted" from the main Library and can only be managed via a hidden "hover" menu inside an active task, leading to significant confusion and duplicate data. Requested Fix: Add "Checklist" as a visible Template Type in the Template Center sidebar so users can audit, rename, and delete them without needing to be inside an active task.

A new feature, when duplicating a task to select subtask assignees as well as the overall assignee, is great. This would be a good addition to the templates customization options and shouldn't take long to add, since the option already exists in the duplication features.

ClickUp is already an excellent platform for project and task management, but it has incredible potential as a tool for writers of all kinds—novelists, authors, bloggers, journalists, academics, and content creators. Currently, there’s no dedicated workspace template or feature set designed specifically for writing projects. A “Writing Workspace” option would make ClickUp much more appealing and practical for writers by offering: Manuscript Organization: Separate folders/spaces for drafts, chapters, research notes, and published versions. Version Control: Easy comparison between drafts and tracking of revisions. Goal & Progress Tracking: Word count goals, deadlines, and chapter/section completion tracking. Collaboration Tools: Commenting, feedback, and editing features for co-authors, editors, or beta readers. Research & Reference Management: A structured way to store notes, links, and references alongside the manuscript. Publishing Pipelines: Task templates for editing, formatting, cover design, and publishing milestones. Why this matters: Writers often juggle multiple drafts, edits, and notes, while also keeping track of deadlines and publishing steps. Right now, they either have to adapt ClickUp’s generic project templates or use multiple separate tools (Docs, Trello, Notion, Scrivener, etc.). A dedicated writing-focused workspace would allow ClickUp to position itself as a one-stop productivity hub for writers, eliminating tool-switching and making the creative process more streamlined. Who would benefit: Authors writing novels, short stories, or non-fiction books Academics preparing research papers or dissertations Journalists and bloggers managing content pipelines Freelance writers handling client projects Writing teams and co-authors collaborating remotely
