We have multiple tasks with the same description/heading for different projects - there is no practical way around this. Each project has it's own code that is applicable to our financial software and current paper based model. With in this code it identifies who the sales person is, job location by town/suburb and the type of job (new, refurbishment etc etc). These codes are invaluable to our business. We would like to be able to have the same code attached to each task for that project list (usually 1 project = 1 list). There is so much information attached to that code, its automatically there for every task. Then the ClickUp item number gets put on the end - it would be perfect! We would also benefit at the folder level. Please plan to put this one in place.

We're using custom task IDs to automatically generate a unique project code for each project we open, e.g. PRJ-1234.

Ideally, we would have stored our Master Project List in our Admin space. But because we couldn't apply the custom ID to a single list, we had to go out and create a separate space just to hold the Master Project list. That was the only way to ensure that the custom ID was used for a task in the Master Project list and nowhere else.

It would be great to be able to set Custom IDs at a lower level than Space.

OMG... I would love this, this would make integrations more functional.

I was looking if this was possible and found this thread. I have been using Memtime recently and you can't always tell which client the task is. All our clients are in one space with their own folder and list.

There is no use to have custom task ID at the space level, it would only be useful to have it at the folder or list level.

I have been using Harvest integrated with Clickup for years, so when time is tracked you need to select the client anyway but if the client prefix was in the task ID, it would be super easy to see if any errors were made.

Gosh, I hope this is something that can be implemented soon, it would be awesome!

In our company, we use a shared SPACE to host several teams (FOLDERs). Some teams prefer to use custom IDs, while others do not. Implementing a feature that accommodates both preferences would help us meet everyone's needs. Currently, our only alternative is to separate the teams into different spaces, which is not ideal for our employees' end-user experience.

Yes, this would be a game-changer for our space. We have spaces by client, but different projects/SOWs within one client space. Would make it so much easier to check that time-sheets are allocating time to the right SOW/bucket of money if the task ID was set per folder. I could name it ACME-SOW12-<ticketnumber>.

We'd really need something like this. Using the space-level id is not super practical.

Maybe I could set up an automation that overwrite the custom id at task creation. But it would be more handy to have that built-in, especially for git project integration

any update on this? When will this be implemented? People are waiting on this feature for quiet a long time now.

Yes please - currently I need so many spaces to be able to have different custom task ids. Also the ability to rest numbering of the custom task ID would be great.

We would love this at the folder level at least. It'd be a game changer! We have Spaces FOR ALL our clients because we need the custom task IDs to be client-specific (for Github and Harvest time tracking). But would love a space for out Support clients, where each folder is a different support client. It would allow us an easy view of ALL active tickets in Support.

Upvote - We currently need this in our project this help allot for setting up transaction No. and Membership ID in the same space
