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.

Could we please customise which properties are shown and which are hidden by default and when collapsed?
For example, I don't need to see "Track Time" all the time, but I would like Tags to always be available.

I was in the middle of migrating content from paid Notion to paid Clickup so I could turn off Notion. But this mandatory busy task view is a deal killer, and apparently CLickUp is ignoring year+ feedback on this OR their product is so inflexible that it cannot make this happen. Either way, I am reversing the process, moving my tasks to Notion and turning off ClickUp.

Could we get the option to choose the order of the Sections Tabs and the vertical Sections?
So Subtasks can come first, the Action Items, then Details, or whatever we like - both for the vertical and horizontal tab version.

There are two key switches I would like to have on my task views for the Custom Fields: 1) Hide / Show empty fields - I currently have to unhide almost every time I open a task - because I need to fill those fields in. 2) Sort Alphabetical or as displayed on the list. - As displayed maintains workflow - which is almost never alphabetical. Give the user the freedom of choice.

Don't know if this has been mentioned already, but i think Coda Docs does this really well.
This would be an awesome feature and would go perfectly hand-in-hand with ClickUp's vision of being "the one app to replace them all" :)

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
