we can create our own shortcuts, like if i want to add due date of task i'll type '!' and the calender would appear

Create tasks/assignee/due date/list with just typing!

Guys on most task management systems we can create entire tasks with relevant additions without leaving the keyboard. The / option is ok but if we could just use @,#,! Etc for assignee, list, due date and priority it would save us all TONS of time.

Hey Kat,
100% agree. I tagged Zeb in and got a response from Luci N. asking me to create a new post. Here it is: https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/true-natural-language-input-in-task-titles
Would love for you to upvote too. It's been a minute. This feature should be available.
Thanks.

We should take TickTick as an example. Creating tasks on mobile is the easiest of all the apps I've tested.

Please add better NLP support to parse task due date, project etc like in Todoist, TickTick etc. This is such a blocker for us when moving from other apps. Need in both desktop and mobile app.

Todoist did this really well. For a company focused on task management, project management, and work execution, this should be a priority. It’s core to ClickUp’s mission and aligns with their values, especially 1, 3, 7, and 10.

Excellent suggestion, really appreciate it!

I can't believe this hasnt been updated yet. Especially with Clickup AI, theres really no excuse to be this far behind the curve. It is painful to click and scroll and select all the little details. I just want to be able to type " #project/list do such-and-such on this date" and have it make a task in the right spot. I would love to use Clickup for a GTD braindump system but it takes forever to add a simple task. Todoist is a great system for this to get ideas from.

Is here any chance to get this integratet? Datepicker in Clickup is pias and Creating tasks in natural language would be so awesome

I was looking for a way to quickly add a tag while typing the task name without grabbing the mouse. This would solve it.
