Custom fields by task type
in progress
Ivan Villa
Problem:
Custom fields can become messy when you have different types of work (tasks) within the same lists. For example, having a bug, feature, and an epic task all in the same list would cause them all to have the same custom fields, even though I would want specific ones for each type.
Other issues arise when fields that should only belong to the top-level task spread down to all its subtasks.
Ask:
Custom fields should have the option to be added to a custom task type itself.
- Whenever I create a new task of that type, it will come along with all its custom fields.
- Those fields will not spread to any task that is not of that type.

Hey there! 👋
Task types were just the start to help get different types of work organized in ClickUp. The team is working on various follow-up projects that will help make ClickUp tasks better fit the different types of work we manage.
I wanted to get this form out for those who want to be a bit more involved as we build out the next version. Whether you want to participate in betas or just want to be kept in the loop with designs, please fill out the form below.
P.S: Once we have Custom fields by task type in a testable state we will be looking at this form ☝️🙂.

This feature will be very useful. While you're working with custom fields, please also enable them to be used in List Info - customizable at List Level, but also able to be inherited from the Folder or Space.

Boy this is taking forever. I am seriously thinking about creating an app with Ai and get it done with.

Nick Kennedy Hey Nick! There are a few things we are still tackling before we can get this rolled out to folks. Once we get a green light from the Engineering team, we should start to get folks in who signed up for beta. I just checked with the team, and they said we should know soon.
I will make sure to post something as soon as we start moving forward.

Hello, Ivan! How are you?
I'm trying to open the form, however, it is not loading.
Is it open to be filled up yet?
Thank you very much!

Hey everyone!
Quick update: we have a beta version being tested internally and plan to release it to those who signed up for the beta soon. There are some known bugs we’re working through, but it’s in a state where we can start gathering feedback. If you haven’t signed up for beta yet, please fill out this form. We’ll send more info as we roll it out. ✨

Ivan Villa great news. Just one thing to test if you haven’t already; Can you pls check if the custom fields change if you change task type (both during, or after a task has been completed). Thx
