Ability to add "fake" users

Andrei Pascu

We need some dummy users to delegate tasks to. There aren't real users, they are just fake users with names and, ideally, profile pics. We really need this, and I don't mean guests

I'm trying clickup out right now and not being able to assign tasks to users/roles without using actual people is a non-starter. I have yet to hire most of the people for the roles I'm planning around but I still want to be able to plan resource allocation.

peter schon I think its better you create a custom field for now , and use that field to mention the Role Name

Does anyone know if there is an update on this issue?

Hasn't been a response from the ClickUp team on the similar request since 2021 https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/fake-or-virtual-usersitems

This would be amazing! Would help so much with planning out my week

Will Bailey

do this now!!!! i really need it for my work, its not a case of needing people to be able to see the assigned task but for being able to plan out and schedule work

I love to have this feature, I hope more people vote. 
However, I believe this feature is a threat to the ClickUp business owners, as they think they will lose money if people don't sign up for their Business membership.
See the same request here https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/fake-or-virtual-usersitems

As a new user it was the first feature I found missing. For example, my accountant will not connect to clickUp I still want to assign tasks to him. Seeing that this feature has been set aside for years pretty discouraging to continue with Clickup. Creating fake emails works but very cumbersome.

I would like to add "fake users" for a different purpose. For several projects, I am required to submit plans for project management (including work load, dependencies between tasks etc.). AT that stage of the project, most staff has not been hired yet. It would be great to just assign a task to a fictive person.

This allows to assess whether more personnel is needed than expected before. It also fosters the creation of job profiles.

I would like to specify WHY I want this added. I have freelancers and other external collaborators that are only involved in a couple of projects. I can't get them to learn clickup just for me, and it's very time consuming (and it costs money) to create actual fake accounts. Most of the time I just end up creating a custom field called "assignee" with the name of the persone inside. This is a problem when I have to filter by assignee or create dashboards. Please just add this!

Andrei Pascu: I have the exact same challenge / need to manage projects with clients and staff of clients.

Natalie Sandford

Yes, this would be very helpful for testing and demonstration purposes.

Michelle Cellini

A few fake profiles for Admins would be really helpful! I'm losing track of my emails and fake accounts. I have one to confirm and take screenshots for documentation/Members'training, one for Members documentation/training, and then myself. It's confusing and a waste of a Member seat.
