Bulk apply templates to tasks
planned
George
It would be nice to be able to load templates to multiple tasks at once. I would like to be able to select all tasks I want to apply the template to and load the template to them quickly.

Hi Prasadi Gunawardana! One approach to bulk update subtasks from a template is using Automations. Please check out this Clip: https://share.clickup-stg.com/clip/s/t333/83136009-edb8-4094-a18d-aaa38cade027/83136009-edb8-4094-a18d-aaa38cade027.webm?filename=screen-recording-2025-09-05-14%3A51.webm

I am not sure I am asking for the same thing but I would love to be able to create a template and then quickly push it to multiple Lists at once.

Laura Schilling: For your request of creating a template and then pushing it to multiple Lists at once, could you please vote on this: https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/bulk-apply-templates-to-spaces-folders-list-in-single-action

Thanks so much for the responses everyone! That helps me validate the approach. The team is currently working on improving reliability of our template application and reducing failures this month. Some of the improvements that we're making to the process infrastructure will lay the groundwork for us to be able to bulk process task templates in a way that won't impact performance and reliability. Once these improvements are in place, I'll provide an update on expected schedule for this feature request mid May.
In the meantime, you can also use a workaround to bulk apply templates to tasks, which is to
- Create a checkbox custom field.
- Create an automation that triggers based on that checkbox to apply a task template.
- Use the bulk action toolbar to set the checkbox and kickoff automations to apply the task template.

you can select multiple tasks and apply things like tags or status, but you cannot bulk apply a template. This feels like such a natural add, I would use this all the time.

Ability to apply multiple templates to a task at once
Leonela M
[from Support] The “use template” option does not allow me to select several templates to be added one after the other [...] and I need to do it manually which is kind of painful.

I'd like to be able to apply the same template (with same dates) to multiple tasks at once.
