Multiple Closed Status

It would be great to just remove the 'done' status (It's really not useful for me) and let us add other completed status options...
Mike Lloyd
Agreed. There are multiple reasons why a task might be closed and the status can reflect that. We have a "Not planned" status which is done and just sits at the top of every list annoyingly.

Agree, it would be good to have the ability to set more than one Closed status type rather than just being able to add custom Done status, as if a task status is in the Done category it still appears on the counter beside the list in the side bar, the tasks remain in the view on the list as an active status type (rather than disappear unless 'show complete' is selected, and also clutters dashboards etc. For example I would like to have options for custom closed status of 'Not Applicable' so the task stays on the list as evidence that it was assessed but closed as not needed (rather than having to delete it)

Just wanted to second this, 6 years later. A closed status called Cancelled would be great, I want it gone from the main view, and also I want the team to be able to track the amount of jobs getting completed, cancelled or paused. So we get an idea if there's any patterns in the Cancelled jobs.

Hey, everyone! We've updated the status of this request to reflect its roadmap status. The Product Manager will provide updates on this post when they have new details to share! For more details about our statuses, check out this post!
David J Geiger
Luci N. Just for clarification, the status hasn't really changed, right? I clicked the link, the "Open" status appears to be the same thing as what "Considering" used to be.
Natalie Williams
David J Geiger that was my interpretation as well.

Hey, David J Geiger and Natalie Williams! Great question!
We've simplified the statuses and removed "Considering" since it was causing confusion!
The Product Manager will now move posts to the 'Future' or 'Planned' statuses once they are confirmed on our roadmap.
For this specific request, Caroline, the Product Manager, shared that this is on our radar but not yet committed to the roadmap. Because of this, we have moved it back to 'Open' since 'Considering' has been removed.
She also shared some more context in another comment below about the prioritization, if you'd like to check that out!
Happy Holidays!

PLEASE add this to the roadmap, it's such a basic feature from the user perspective that is really needed.

Caroline Ginty Looking through the roadmap, I was expecting to see requests with WAY higher votes than this.
.... How is it that this feature, with one thousand four hundred votes... Is being "Considered"... While there are features both planned AND completed in the roadmap with fewer than 50 votes??
What's the point of voting if our voices mean nothing to how ClickUp prioritizes requests. From what I've seen, this is one of the most requested features, and it's been that way for YEARS ... And then, dinky little features with 15 upvotes are getting prioritized?
Make it make sense. (Literally, though: Please explain to us how the voting process plays into the roadmap).
Caroline Ginty
Christian Rigg Appreciate your feedback on this, and I hear you on looking for more transparency. To give you a little peek behind the curtain, requests from the community are certainly a key part of our roadmap prioritization (for example, you can see that 3 of our top 4 all time Canny requests are currently in progress or in Beta), but there are other factors as well that play into our long term strategy. For instance, we need to take into account the individual capacities of each team, and of course, also allow us to also prioritize important overall quality and performance improvements within ClickUp.
We strive to be as transparent as possible with the community on what we are working on, and we do genuinely appreciate everyone who takes the time to vote and comment on Canny as it's absolutely something we look at regularly and weight heavily when doing roadmap prioritization. Thanks!

👉 following
Cancelled is not the same as Completed and having to filter this out breaks the natural list view of 'done/closed' being auto-filtered.
So whenever a team member clears the filter we have the cancelled tasks visible again. We don't want to keep restricting the 'save view' option for the team, but because we post these lists for wider audiences in our business we cannot rely on this being filtered out since it is not considered 'done' by Clickup.

Update Nov 2025: This feature is on our radar, but not on the committed roadmap at this time. We are hoping to get to this soon, and I'll keep this request updated with anything new as we move forward.

but will we be able to https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/change-color-of-closed-status Caroline Ginty...
Caroline Ginty
Michael Also under consideration; we'd likely scope the two requests together, but I'll keep both requests posted with any new updates!
