Default Project/List when creating task
Kristin Yates
It would be nice to be able to set a default project/list when adding tasks. When I am working and an idea pops in my head that I want to quickly capture, I add it to an "Inbox" list that I will review later to move it to the appropriate place. The goal is to not lose focus on what I am already working on, so when I have to move to a different project & list or select these items from the Create New Task window, it is just more cumbersome.

Apparently this is slated to be fixed on mobile (in "PLANNED" status as of Dec 2024): https://feedback.clickup.com/new-mobile-app/p/select-a-default-location-for-created-tasks-on-mobile
I don't understand why it isn't already slated to be fixed in general.
BEST WORKAROUND I've found thus far: create an automation from within the Personal List to move any newly-created tasks to another list of your choice.

It takes me 4 clicks to create new tasks instead of 1.

Not understanding why this has not happened yet. There's so many things in clickup that should just be intuitive. Way too much clicking around. I'm spending way more time clicking buttons and looking for a fix to things than actually working. That being said... I won't renew my annual plan this year and switching over to Monday.com or something else.
Edit: Realizing why its called clickup. Because my clicks have definitely gone up

Eg an Inbox?

Why isn't this done already? Its a very basic, but important feature.

This is ESPECIALLY needed on the mobile app. In browser view, I can have multiple tabs open with relevant lists/views and Clickup defaults to that list when I create a task. But obviously you can't have multiple 'tabs' in the app. I have an 'Inbox' list defined in clickup and use email to list to make it especially useful. But the app is defaulting to the Personal list. It just creates an unnecessary extra step in a tool that is all about flexibility.

please for gods sakes stop forcing me to look for the list every time I add a task under assigned to me, this is insane, either let us select a default, a favorite or default to the last selected list -_-

New tasks are currently set to be added to user's 'Personal List'
They ONLY way to view this list is to add the 'Personal List' card to your home tab—this is terrible and should be fixed ASAP.

Why do we still have to ask for this? Get it done, ClickUp! 😑
