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!
We are starting the work on this one. Looking forward to share the progress with you!

Set Custom Fields at the task/subtask level
Matthew Flex
I think it makes sense to have custom field enabled at the level of Project. However, it would be very useful to be able to select which custom field to display on a per task basis. Right now, my team has a dozen custom fields in on project but most tasks only need 1-2 of them. So there's a bit of visual clutter happening.
It seems I recall a little eyeball icon when I was in Task > Manage Custom Fields, that allowed one to hide/show select custom fields. I believe I use this on 10/5/18. Dev experiment perhaps?

This would be PERFECT.

following! I would also like the ability to limit Custom Fields by subtask, similar to what is described here https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/separate-custom-fields-for-subtasks

Thanks for the test session. Question: How will these appear in the API? Ideally there would be no change to how they're nested in the API, and instead may have a new location/source parameter on each custom field present on a task so that we don't have to make changes to our external automations.

We'd love your help testing designs for this feature! To start, we're opening up 8 unmoderated sessions (first come, first serve).
For this session, we’d like you to give feedback from a computer. It will take about 15 minutes to complete. In return, we'll send you a $20 Amazon gift card.
As you complete tasks and answer questions, the tool will record what you say and do. That’s why it’s important to speak clearly throughout.
**To get started, find somewhere quiet, then start the test here.**
If the sessions fill up, don't worry! There will be more opportunities for feedback soon.

Anthony Raad - Looks like I missed out on a slot.
This one is big for us, so happy to jump in when there are more times! 😀

Looks like this could actually be taken care of by this item now on the roadmap!
At least it would solve my issue.

Excellent news! This combined with "Task Types By Space or Private Task Types" would be a game changer for us!
