Change color of closed status

Skeps B.V.

It's already possible to change the name of the closed status. Having the option to also change the color would be super nice!

+1 Would greatly prefer another color here. Odd you can change every other status color then this one.

Send a bug report the team to tell me to vote for this feature which has been requested 5 years ago... I feel like voting for the new president. My vote doesn't have any impact. Hey ClickUp dev team, do you need help writing a ReactJS component to allow to change color of closed tasks? It seem to be hard on your end to check this one.

Cheryl DeNeve

This seems silly. We can change the name of the closed status, but not the color? Please fix this.

CHANGE COLOR FOR DEFAULT CLOSED STATUS

Fred Pienkos

Sometimes we do not want the status that represents a closed item to be green! Sometimes we want to be able to rename Closed to something else, and have that color be something other than green.

After using ClickUp heavily for six months I have become somewhat accustomed to the quirkiness of their UX. However, I see coworkers continue to struggle with their interface, new people in particular. This is a simple example: "closed"/"complete" being green rather than gray / strike-through.

Closed color can mean different things for different processes. Green for tasks that are final. Grey for tasks that are no longer relevant.

If we can't customize the color, at least make it gray/black/white. No green (since that means go/active) and no red either (since that means "urgent" to me).

Can't believe this is still an issue since 2019... please make the color editable or at least change it to gray.

On what planet does green mean stop, done, complete, archive...!?!? This is the single worst UI/UX error in ClickUp. There is zero logic in FORCING users to adopt green for the exact opposite purpose everyone on the planet uses it for!!! It makes no sense, and I can't imagine it would be a difficult fix.
To those who say it would be "nice" to have control over this color choice, you're too kind. We should be taking up pitch forks and attacking the castle!!!
At the least they should hard code gray instead of green. Then they can work on giving us a choice.
