Trying to embrace lineup... but its limiting.

I use the MIT method (1 Most Important Thing, 6 Very Important Things, and 9 Other important things). Being able to sort the lineup based on the custom column that I track these tags would be helpful...

More helpful would be to be able to add items to lineup based on these tags (hmmm... I'll look into automation*)

MOST helpful would be to have Lineup just be a custom filtered list on "EVERYTHING" of my choosing so I don't have to manually add it (and that filtered list is what gets pulled into fun things like the calendar auto-schedule).

--------------------

Additional Thought(s)

• This feels like one more instance where Clickup is trying to get needlessly creative with something that pigeon-holes users into a specific way of doing something.

• If instead of building functionality off a thing that has limited functionality (Lineup, Personal List, Reminders) and instead letting the user decide which things to pull into those silos, things would be a lot simpler.

Caffeinated Additional Thought:

Fleshed this idea out further: https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/a-case-against-lineup-why-not-just-make-it-a-filtered-view

I've just started adopting the PARA method, and I would love to be able to sort the LineUp list in my Home view so that all of my projects can be sorted by due date or priority. Currently, I have to drag items up and down manually, and if there are more than three projects on the go, it's just not worth the effort.

So, ClickUp, please allow the LineUp to be sorted by:

– Due date (ascending/descending)

– Priority (ascending/descending)

– Manual override (dragging)

Thanks.

Given the limitations of Lineup, I have adopted an alternative approach that some may find helpful - I am tagging tasks and then creating Views filtered on that tag. This essentially replicates the intent of Lineup but with all the functionality associated with Views (and should be part of Lineup...)

Would also be nice to be able to break out items shown into different groups - similar to the way multiple Checklists can be shown and items dragged from one to another. One master list of Lineup items gets messy and takes away from its purpose to help focus.

Yes, particularly need to to be able to see locations / parent tasks of subtasks, as any tasks created from templates that have the same name arec completely indistinguishable, and it would also be great to be able to add more columns than the tiny selection currently available.

Others also have these requests, including:

Task locations:

https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/show-breadcrumbs-in-lineup;

(and similarly, parent tasks)

Being able to change what data is shown:

Seeing more tasks:

Need more than 25. Filtering by Priority, Location would also be helpful.

I agree! I would really like to be able to see task locations.

Need this!

The idea of LineUps is exactly what I want. The reallity of it is underwhelming.

-At minimum Default fields should be accessible. For example Showing estimated time and active time would be really useful to start stop tasks quickly when there is a quick changeup in priorities throughout the day or to see if you are overloading your planned "to-do" as that is how I believe most people use their LineUp.

-Making the "Add to LineUp" WAY easier to do from a list. Currently requires 3 clicks and has to be done task per task. Using the checkbox feature and adding the option to place multiple on the lineup would make things more fluid.

The LineUp is to me the most practical feature on a day to day/focus oriented approach to my tasks. i do think keeping it as light as possible is important. For me, having the task not show all the information is fair, as when I focus on a task, I open it and am doing just that.
