Layouts by task type
planned
Ivan Villa
Problem:
We manage different types of work within ClickUp, and how sections are organized in ClickUp Tasks do not always work across each type. In some tasks, for example I want subtasks and fields front and center, while in others, I need to bring relationships front and center.
Ask:
- Give the ability to have a different task layout for each task type.
- This would allow each type to have a layout that is better organized for that type of work.

Hey there! 👋
Task types were just the start to help get different types of work organized in ClickUp. The team is working on various follow-up projects that will help make ClickUp tasks better fit the different types of work we manage.
I wanted to get this form out for those who want to be a bit more involved as we build out the next version. Whether you want to participate in betas or just want to be kept in the loop with designs, please fill out the form below.
P.S: Thanks for everyone's thoughts on the last post, a lot of great examples of things we want to help solve for folks here. 🙏

Allow to hide and rearrange some of the "by default" task attributes: Priority, Task Time, Time Estimate, etc.

Customize task properties

I think it would be great to have an option to customize the view of the task and its properties. I want to create a CRM list and I don't need some of the properties (like Time Track, Relationships, Tags) and I would also like to add my own (for example have multiple people assigned but with different roles)

Customise right sidebar
It would be great if we could customise the right-hand sidebar, so it can not only be used for Updates or Relationships.
Also, it would be great to be able to select a default view for it (e.g., all tasks open on Relationships instead of Updates (Solo users have little use for Updates, but we do for Relationships)).
Finally, it would be great to be able to move Relationships to the main area and hide Updates altogether, so there is more space and so that Relationships can be seen quickly and easily.

Add option to have custom fields at the top near status

I'd love it if we could see the custom fields (or only certain custom fields - like the pinned ones) near the top without having to scroll so far down.

Customise top tow fields in the task description

Danielle Fincham
The fields in the task when opened, that sit above the description panel, can these be customised to reflect which customs fields are shown at the top, rather than scrolling to the bottom below the description? For example in sprint lists, we would like the top row fields to include 'add to sprint' for quick action, once someone has reviewed the description when inside the task?

Customize task view without the default fields

For example be able to include the custom fields you want to see and remove the default fields like description or priority

Task view: Display linked tasks by default

Martin
For me it makes much more sense to display linked tasks by default instead of the activity.
Ivan Villa
Hey Martin, we are actually going to be making some changes soon to task layouts to make these show up a bit better. I will merge this request with the other one so you can follow along.

Martin
Ivan Villa thanks! actually it would be great if it would be possible to "save" the view settings, since some people prefer different things by default. :)

Hey Ivan Villa! I wanted to throw another very important idea into this. It would be great to have custom buttons within the task view layout! This would allow any custom field that are a link to have a button that can be clicked (instead of just the URL). This is great when you have repeatable tasks with outside information. Monday.com has something similar, which is attached below.
This would be an idea that is similar (https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/action-buttons)
In the same way that we have task types, it would be great to have layout types.
Ivan Villa
Ethan Lang I've talked about that button with our Automations team. We definitely need to make more things happen automatically with just a click. I'll keep it in mind as we develop, but likely another team will handle it. I'll keep pushing for it internally though 💪.
Ethan Lang
Ivan Villa! Thanks so much for the response here! Totally understand that it’s another team to develop, but I know it would make this task layout feature amazing. You could then customize layouts with buttons that take you to external links, run automations, and more!
Brian Gotts
Excited to see this is planned. This would help create visual clarity.
