It's also needed on desktop, just a personal global setting of a default target list for tasks created from outside specific locations?

Really need this added to the mobile app. It is pretty standard with most of the competing products and we get a lot of push back when trying to deploy ClickUp across our organization. Our users just expect it to already work this way. It really speeds up their "capture" process.

I just prefer to NOT have a default list.
In v2, you were not allowed to create a Task until you selected a List. This forced you to make sure the Task was organised properly. This is a huge benefit, as it means Tasks don't get lost.
Any automatically-chosen or default option means Tasks run the risk of getting lost of mis-placed.
So I would like the option to select NO default List, and it flag in red and note create the Task until I have chosen one, as per v2.

Stop defaulting to Personal List on task creation

Personal list is a really annoying list to default to because it's a black hole for tasks - you forget they are there because they are not accessible from most places in ClickUp and don't work the same as the rest of ClickUp. It's so easy to miss tasks within it.
So tasks just get lost there.
The previous version, where it wouldn't let you create a task until you selected a list, was much better, because if meant tasks were organised properly instead of accidentally going in to a list you never look at.

Easy fix: by default things go to personal list, create an automation to move it wherever you like to

Burak Sarac Great suggestion! Yours is, in fact, the best workaround I've found: to create an automation from within the Personal List to move any newly-created tasks there to another list of my choice.

What also clould be an excellent option on mobile:
Automatically select the "last used list" when creating new tasks.
Most of the times, this will fit quite well, as people tend to create several related entries one after the other.

On mobile app there is a default launch page option but there is not option to set a default option for the add Task Button.
This is to speed say adding to Personal List or a Triage list from a mobile phone to allow for organisation later once back at a laptop.
