Descriptions for custom fields and statuses
in progress
Önder Bağcı
when creating custom fields, add a field where we can enter a description to explain what that custom field does and what info should be entered. This would be shown as a tooltip when hovering over column titles in list views.

As i know you can add a field for entering a description to explain the purpose of the custom field and provide instructions on what information should be entered. This description can be shown as a tooltip when hovering over the column titles in list views. https://www.targetpayandbenefits.review/

My team is thinking about migrate to another (well known) solution because of little things like that (attached image). Please, Clickup, release this feature asap ;)

Caroline Ginty: EXCELLENT!!!

Caroline Ginty: Would be great to have a "Title" and a "Shown name" for custom fields. Kinda like it works for FORMS, where you have the actual name of the custom field, but the name that people sees can display something different.

+1 to this one. Missing descriptions are such a hindrance when working with a team, as there is no way to convey how the list is supposed to be used.
This results in rework and inconsistent input.
We have to put comments in dropdown or label fields to avoid inconsistent input from employees. This is then a tradeoff, as the input is, in fact numerical values, leaving us unable to use Clickups build-in calculation and number features. Bummer.

That would be really helpful when working with many custom fields

This is part of best-in-class. Status descriptions. View descriptions. Tool tips would be a nice touch.

Absolutely. Unless there are descriptions for Custom Fields AND where dropdowns are offered, descriptions for the options also, users are not aware of what to enter or choose. This leads to Garbage in Garbage out.
