Create Sections for Lists

It would be great to be able to add Sections to Lists.
This could also be thought of as grouping certain tasks within lists.
Sometimes you want tasks to be in one list, but also be able to group them/put them in to sections, so you can better chunk them.
For example, I make films, and I would like a list for a film to be able to be grouped in to "Development", "Pre-Production", "Production", "Post Production", "Release".
It isn't suitable in this instance for me to make each film have its own project and then make individual lists, because I group film types as projects. For instance, I have a Project "Short Films", then each short film is a list. It would not work having a Project for each film, as the project list would be huge.
This is something that can be done in Asana, and is very useful.

Same! I moved from Todoist, and sections are greatly missed. I'm using a dropdown custom field because I need to be able to group items sometimes. I've tried using a custom text column, but that doesn't work when I start looking at global views.

Different projects (that I drop into a list per project) require different sections. E.g.

Blog/Article: Stream of Consciousness, Editing, Posting, Marketing
Comedy Tour: Booking, Marketing, Travel, Marketing, Pre-show, Post-show
Fashion Engineering: General, Research/Prototyping, Development, Launch, Post-Launch
Travel: General, Accommodations, Household, Destination
Party: General, Invitations, Supplies/Food, Post-party Cleanup

I really, really wish ClickUp had this!

It seems like this feature is still not available which is quite annoying migrating from Asana, where it really made projects easier to organize. Does Click up plan to integrate this feature?

Thanks

I kept searching for how to do this and I am glad you mentioned Asana because that is probably why i thought it was possible.

Hi, is there a section available in Clickup. It will be useful if the section has its own "estimated timeline/due date" and it displayed in gantt chart view. its hard to use "task" as indicator because u need to assign under someone name. it will be redundant.

Sections are a basic feature in the top online planning apps (Things 3, Asana, Todoist, etc.) Clickup needs to add this functionality if they want to compete. It's preventing me from switching to the app.

*Creating a custom "Section" field and grouping by that is a poor workaround as you are unable to reorder tasks within the sections.

I agree. The way Asana has sections helps to visually group things in a list and helps to reduce the need for folders. My issue with folders is that you have to open them to see the status of the things in it. I'd rather than a longer list with Sections than folders (which we've been using for a year or two now).

Sections would solve the:

Group by list request
Subfolders request
Importing issues from Asana, Trello, and Monday that many have requested on here (myself included)
Seen many people creating custom fields just to organize their tasks into sections (again, including myself), but this is a very unintuitive, make-shift solution.

The lack of this feature is THE thing preventing me from switching over from Asana. (I literally can't import my organizations no matter how badly I want to)

P.S. Absolutely love that the ClickUp team has this Canny channel for requests. Ultimately this is how the platform will end up dominating the market in time.

Also looking for sections functionality. This would be very useful for organizing a task with lots of subtasks/checklist items

True, Asana offers both Section and Milestone in list view
