Bulk apply view template

spending way too much time adding views from templates i've saved. Makes little sense to save time making a template then hours applying that across folders and lists. In a real rollout, I think this is fundamental.

This feature would save so much time as it's currently extremely time-consuming to go to each space and folder to apply a view. In fact, I'd love the ability to bulk apply lots of features (status changes, custom fields, etc.)

Would love to be able to propagate multiple additional list view in a space to all sub folders and lists within those folder. Workflows change, so does also what lists you'd like to see.
Manually, it would take a lot of time to 1. make a template of each individual new list view, and then 2. manually add each template to a new list view to each folder and all lists individually.
Think this could be of great benefit!

I agree. Matt

By default, dictionary definition of TEMPLATE, is to reduce the repetitive work. But looks like, I might be wrong, that templates, in CLICKUP are at a nascent stage of implementation and not global in nature. As on today, you can define a template, but you can't apply globally to a set of spaces/folders or lists. You need to go to each and every, space or folder or list, and select the template manually. Only definition of template is available, and not applying in bulk

Hi all, this might be also a helpful and more general Feature Request in this case? https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/provide-bulk-edit-settings-page-for-spaces-folders-and-list-settings

This would be incredibly useful. I'm currently going thru 20+ views and loading a view template manually

Apply a template to multiple views at once, or better still update template center so that templates of all kinds can be bulk applied to existing objects.

This is a vital feature and something that really would provide a huge productivity boost. As the key point person for ClickUp in my company, one of my tasks is to make modifications to the layout, content and usage policies that enable us to better serve our team. The issue here is, if I make a change to a template that is used in a combination of, say, 50 spaces and folders, I then need to save the template and go to each of those areas separately to then load that template individually.
Clearly, this is not saving me clicks per day by any stretch, instead, it causes me to spend around 1 hour going through each area, one by one, checking whether a particular space or list is using the previous version of the template and then applying the template where needed.
A simple "apply to all areas that currently use the old template" when updating a template would solve this. I don't see this as a hugely complex implementation either, so I hope that it is added in the very near future.
