Make Custom Field API calls simpler
Ibrahim Ennafaa
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.

It is strange that it is possible to set multiple custom field values in one call with new tasks, but not with updated tasks. This is not practical for someone needing to automatically update a task with 5-10 custom fields via the API. This uses up unnecessary API Calls for ClickUp and the third party integrating with them.
This feature is crucial in the long run for app integration and automation with tasks.

I am requesting for two things:
- Update Multiple Fields Values in a single call
- Edit custom_fields properties. {e.g. Ability to change (add, remove) Option Items for dorp_down and labels}.

Milev YO: Yes! This right here ^^^

Yes, updating some or all of the custom fields in 1 call would be most excellent!
