Custom Field - File Attachment
not on the roadmap
O
Oscar Six
We currently use custom files to organise and title file attachments within a task, especially when viewing tasks in the Table view.
It would be ideal for the API to support uploading files to these Custom Fields so I can create a script to automatically download the text documents our writing team creates via Google Docs, run them through our automation tools and upload them to ClickUp automatically for the rest of the team.
Hope this is enough information,

Uploading attachments to attachments custom field via api
Hooked Advertising
Hi, would be extremely helpful if we have an API available to upload attachments to the attachments custom field.
I use a lot of relationships in my task to track performance of my creatives and landing pages. The attachment custom field helps me to have an overview of all my creatives directly from my list. However there is no API available for me to automate the adding of creatives into the attachment custom field and because of that I have to spend a lot of time everywhere to download my creatives and add them 1 by 1.
I have just recently added around 230 new creatives which I had to download and upload them 1 by 1 and it honestly took me a lot of time and effort.
Some of the other use cases for the attachment custom field would be to track resumes, invoices etc.
I hope you could get on it soon.
Thank you!

Attach Files to Custom Field Type File via API

We are using the ClickUp API to update a variety of custom field types, which has significantly streamlined our workflow. However, we've noticed that it is currently not possible to update custom fields of type "file" via the API.
This limitation requires us to manually complete this step, which disrupts our otherwise fully automated task updating process. Adding support for updating file-type custom fields through the API would greatly enhance our efficiency and improve the overall user experience.
Thank you for considering this enhancement! Please let us know if you need any additional details or examples of how this feature could benefit users like us.

This is a no brainer :( we can attach to a task but not a custom field?
I'm using airtable for a project simply for this

Making attachments a custom field or at least viewable as a column, would be a HUGE plus

We also need it! Monday can handle that, and many cases this is a dealbreaker. Thanks!

Yes, if there are custom fields with files, there is api, through api you can pass data to custom field and upload files, it would be logical to connect it all.

We do a LOT of custom integration work with clients, syncing data between ClickUp and their websites. Currently, task attachments are not an elegant solution. Using the "file" custom field would allow for better workflows.

This would be SUPER useful and a powerful feature to add
