Customize Task View Completely
Ross McConeghy
Allow users to design a
completely
customized task view.The default task view "form" should be saved per task type and allow for overriding at the list level.
Completely customizable
- as an extreme example - a user should be able to set up a task view to only see a single checkbox custom field with no task name, no description, no other intrinsic or custom fields or relationships shown. The only feature of the task view form that should be required is a border with a close button.
Stop assuming that the Status, Task Name, Description, Priority, or Due Date will even be present in the task view at all and let the user decide the grouping and sorting of all fields.
Don't assume that because you have to do more processing to handle relationships the user expects them to be in a separate presentation from custom fields. The user should be able to pull in any property of the linked task as the value of the field, or a calculated or rollup value.
The table of subtasks should be available as an option to insert at any point in the form. It should have customizable rollup columns. Or the user should be able to have a simple count of subtasks or calculated/rollup displayed if that's all they want for the use case.

The current task view tabs can be completely eliminated by moving Checklists and Subtasks to the left sidebar (currently just subtasks) and moving Assigned Comments and Attachments to the right sidebar (with Activity and Relationships).

Rearrangeable task view

Clickup's task view is extremely complicated & real-estate-intensive, with checklists & subtasks & comments & descriptions.
Please allow users to customize what s/he wants to see in the task view.
Should be able to set the custom view at the List, Project, & Space levels.

Custom fields as "Custom Properties" in new task UI
Joshua D'Antonio
the new task UI that organizes the task properties is very similar to another competitor does. I guess it's intentional. since we are taking inspiration from this, you could also take inspiration from the way they manage what are "custom fields" in clickup. they call them "custom properties" and they appear directly listed in the task properties list and are hidden when they are empty. You could also consider this approach in clickup: bring the custom fields (which are definitely hidden at the moment) to the top and consider them as "custom properties" of the task

Especially love this idea after today, for some reason all my tasks now show EVEN MORE info id o not use than yesterday, now the most important part about my tasks, the description, is totally off screen, so much click-through involved to get to what I need. Everyone in my org hates ClickUp and this would go very far to helping them uunderstan it much better!

This would be a game changer! The ability to customize the look and feel of each Task Type would make this system so beautiful and get rid of so much clutter. BIG UPVOTE on this one!

There is so much blank space in task layout, so kindly comact. also description full screen not good compare to Clickup 2.0.

UX design 101: Tabs are for hiding UI elements that are less used.
ClickUp cannot possibly know which elements are least used in a customizable system.
For some use cases the checklists and custom fields are both equally critical for completing a task yet ClickUp does not allow the user to see both simultaneously.
The same thing can be said for 100s of use cases that you don't understand because of your limited or non-existent experience with the diversity of effective business processes in the real world.
The person making critical decisions about UI design needs to delete their ego and find some good consultants for how functional efficient processes flow, listen to their counsel, and apply it. Or just go back to designing marketing websites and take their whitespace with them.

Yes totally agree, I moved over from Coda about a year ago and you can completely customize the “task” view. Everything was like a widget and you can drag and drop every field where ever you wanted to, save layouts/templates even resize the ‘widget card’, very similar to how dashboards are but under the task view it was awesome but not as awesome as Clickup.
