Public API

We use numerous custom fields but cannot set their values via API. Can't set custom value when creating a task to updating a task via API

Currently there's no way to get the commenting email address for a given task. I'd have a need for that to create a layer of abstraction between ClickUP and our clients.

I have created many custom fields. It would be great if we can rearrange the custom fields so it will display as we wanted to in the task As you can see in bullet 1, 2, and 3, I have arranged the fields in order Approval Complete Status. But right now, all those fields don't display as order as I wanted, you can see Bullet A, B, and C so you know what I mean

I want to add fields that I can update with the API, like Email, ratings, etc.

From support: it would be nice if you could Get the custom field value for a specific task. Exactly like "Set Custom Field Value" but for read (Get) not write(Set).

I'd really like to see ClickUp offer an official client library for the API. Both Notion and Monday.com have an official JavaScript SDK.

Task API option to include edit history of the task

It would be helpful for us if we could get a webhook that allowed us to detect when a Doc in ClickUp has been updated. We are trying to build a system that periodically grabs content from Docs, and summarizes updates for the day for stakeholders in our organization. Currently, the only way we see to handle this this is to manually pull every page, every day, and compare the date_updated to detect when the last change was. It would be very helpful if we could instead use a webhook that let us know when a document was getting updated. Less important that we get a webhook on every key-stroke... it would be great if we could detect when updates were made in the past 10-30 minutes on a page.

Problems: When we have 10 Custom Fields to set on a task we need to call 10 times the API. It's time consuming & annoying. In order to set a custom field, we need to know its ID + the ID of the values. It's difficult to find them ... Potential Solutions: Update the API to allow us to update multiple custom fields with 1 API call & within the createTask method Let us set a unique custom ID on the custom fields we create + their values so we can use them in our API calls OR add a section in the admin where we can easily retrieve the IDs.
