Custom filter buttons to quickly turn on custom filters
Kolton White
I would love to be able to make custom filter buttons that can be added along the top filters & groups bar, which I can quickly toggle on and off.
Yes, we can use filter templates. But that can be a bit slow.
Sometimes, I just want to press a quick button to toggle on and off a certain filter that I use frequently (e.g., exclude all tasks with a certain custom label entry, or only show tasks with a certain status), without having to open up the filters panel, browse the various saved filters, and then choose one from the long list of them.
This should be custom on a per-view basis, whereas the current filter templates implementation shows all filter templates, regardless of location.
Once toggled off, the filters should revert to how they were before toggling on.
Mockup attached.

I wish this feature would receive more votes. Filtering in ClickUp requires too many clicks. I want filter buttons for custom fields like "Company" or "Service," so I can quickly access them and make a selection.
Currently, to filter, I have to perform seven clicks: first, I click the filter button (1), then I click the field dropdown (2), select the desired field (3), click the condition dropdown (4), choose the condition I want (5), open the field options dropdown (6), and finally click on the specific company (7). If I want to filter by service, I have to repeat those seven clicks.
Saved filters are not as convenient as sticky filter buttons because they are tucked away and require 3 clicks to access. Many other apps, like Notion, have filter buttons for any custom field I choose, so this is not a new concept. I would appreciate it if this option could be considered for implementation.
