We run our sprints using secondary lists that is fed from the main backlog lists. Because this feature is not available I have to manually run a file on the beginning and end of each sprint. If this were available I could automate that capture.

The API also feeds our customer success tool so that the customer requested work can be visible to the POC. They will be able to see the tasks but they cannot see at a glance if they in the current sprint.

This is becoming a bigger issue for us. You can't get items added to a sprint because of this issue. A huge problem.

We have many workflows that depend on tasks living in a primary list but then being added to additional lists, where we still need to be able to get ALL the tasks in a list, even if their Home list is different.

Zach - ClickUp is this anything the team is planning to fix with the API? It's bothered me for a while, but now it's becoming a blocker. Is it really something that would require an overhaul just to allow us to get the tasks in a list, even if some of the tasks have a different home list?

This is such a bizarre shortcoming for the API and makes Clickup almost unusable if you can't trust it to return all tasks in a view or for a list just because tasks are part of multiple lists. It seems inconsistent as some tasks in multiple lists are returned.

We use lists for sprints and keep old sprint list links around so we can track tasks that are stuck and span several sprints without completing. Instead of being able to do that, we are blind to this work from an API perspective.

Can someone reply with an ETA (if ever) for this fix? If there isn't one, I'm probably going to recommend that we move to Jira or some other tool that can give us full visibility to tasks.

Beyond the API, Many of the dashboard widgets don't support multiple lists either so we really have poor visibility around most of our work. Please fix this as I see promise in this software if we can!

Even if I can change our processes to only try to have tasks on one list, it's too easy for a task to be added to a second list and then we'd be blind to that task in several dashboard widgets and the API (unless there is a "strict mode" we can use to prevent tasks from being part of multiple lists.

I see https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/AddTaskToList/ in the api docs now

It would be great if you could at least explain your reasoning behind not exposing this basic and simple functionality.

Really nuts, that they do not have it

This is so stupid that they don't have it

Hello. I really need this feature. Please add it ASAP. I noticed that this has been floating around since September 2020. Surely this can be now be added without too much work and given at the time of writing this, the request has a healthy 149 votes, making it a candidate for consideration.

The issue (in my use case) is that when a Project has Tasks and Sub Tasks, one has to move the Project (essentially the Parent Task) to a common location to also make the Task and Sub Tasks appear/be available to the underlying instrument using the API.

In my case, the underlying instrument is Sunsama. It's a great daily/weekly planning App, but due to the limitations/issues with the ClickUp API, Sunsama cannot show Tasks and Sub Tasks in lists that are not the same as the parent Task (the Project in may case).

I might want to bring in a select number of Tasks and Sub Tasks to Sunsama and NOT also bring in the Project as it is essentially NOT a "to do task".

Additionally, I don't really want to see ALL of my ClickUp Tasks in Sunsama, as the list is just too big and too busy. Being able to simply "add" tasks and sub tasks to a list (eg: To Be Scheduled) so that a handful are available and ready to be planned out in Sunsama would be ideal.

Please add this ASAP.

Thank you.

I suspect that we cannot find tasks in multiple list when using the Gmail/Outlook add on, as the add on only finds the Tasks that are in their home list - huge pain!

It makes no sense that you can add tasks in multiple lists but cant see which lists the tasks are in! Please allow us to see which lists each task is in via the API!!
