Default subtask columns setting (persist across all tasks)
Manny M. Schmidt
When viewing subtasks within a task, there's no way to save the displayed columns as a default. Every time I open a different task, I have to re-configure which columns show in the subtask section.
Request:
Allow users to set default subtask columns at the Space, Folder, or List level (or even workspace-wide) so the chosen columns persist across all tasks automatically.Use case:
I manage dozens of tasks with subtasks daily. I always need the same fields visible (e.g., assignee, due date, priority, custom fields). Manually toggling columns on every single task is repetitive and kills productivity.Suggested implementation:
A "Save as default" option in the subtask column picker that applies the selection to all tasks within that location.Log In

Need this badly because clicking through to a related task now does not help at all which leads to having to look for the task manually in the list al together to expand and have the right columns on list level...!! Ideal would be to set is as a default per list.

+1 from our team. We have one List with a large number of project tasks, each with a few subtasks, and we always need the same custom fields visible in the subtask table when someone opens a task.
I tested how it works now: columns I add with the + icon stay on that task for me, even after restarting ClickUp. A colleague opening the same task still sees the default columns, and every other task starts from the default again. With this many tasks, setting it up task by task and person by person isn't realistic.
What we need is a "Save as default" option in the subtask column picker at List level (Space or Folder level would be welcome too) that applies to everyone opening a task in that location. Personal tweaks on a single task can stay personal, as long as the baseline is shared.
Please don't solve this by making per-task changes visible to everyone. In a big team, that would turn into clutter fast.
Thanks!

This would be incredibly useful and save me a significant amount of time and clicks every day. Please implement this.

Please implement this. As the OP suggested, having to manually add/rearrange the columns to subtasks every time kills productivity.

I would like to see this too! I'm setting the same fields over and over numerous times every day. For a particular Task Type, I always want to see the same displayed columns on the subtasks. So I'd like to see this feature set as default per task type. I use task types heavily to control what gets displayed where.
