Dynamic fields for Automations
Александр Волков
Problem:
Automation does not work for us, because we need to populate properties relative to other properties in the task (not “hard-coded”).
From support:
Automations currently only support hardcoded values. Dynamic field values for automations is a great suggestion! I would recommend dropping by our feedback board and leaving any suggestions there!

I'm really surprised this functionality doesn't exist.
I've got a scenario which I would consider relatively basic but there is no solution for it.
STEP 1 (which works)
- When the due date arrives, change a status
STEP 2 (no solution)
- When the due date is in the past, change a status
There is no ability for the trigger anything after a due date because the only option is "Due date arrives".
I have tried to set a variable of <Due Date> <is less than> but I can only set a static date, I can't specify a variable such as <today>

This is so basic and necessary for so many workflows to work properly. Can we at least get an update that this has been heard and considered? Lots of merges, no actual acknowledgement.

Our operations team keep a list of events that we book with a lot of details in this database. Our sales team is added as a watcher to each one of their events. The sales team does not want a separate notification when every single field in their event is updated. They only want a notification when very specific fields are populated. Without the ability to set custom field automations, the sales team has decided to turn off notifications, or else they would be bombarded with notifications. Dynamic custom field automations would sole this issue.

Recommend looking at Flexie.io for inspiration. Their twig based variables are unbelievably powerful. You can do hashing \ lookups and relations \ etc. I think Clickup could do something similar as there are already variables in place.

I found a temporary solution for that:
You can achieve that by using Make for the automation

Clickup. I need you to understand something. If you truly want to be the app that 'replaces them all' then you need to build out more robust features like automation. If you want to replace zapier, I'll happily pay, but man there are some basic automation functionalities that get to happen first. Dynamic fields in automation is a no-brainer. I need to be able to set relationships to other tasks dynamically based on content of another task. This is especially important for CRM functionality. 3.0 is a step in the right direction with custom task types but the linking and 'assigning' tasks to a 'customer' (which is just another task (with a glorified icon on it now with 3.0)) but that process is impossible and so tracking support requests and communication feasibly in clickup with assigning tasks to a customer is moot.
I am rooting for clickup. SO so much, but with all that $$$ you just raised and the up coming IPO, don't forget your existing customer. You can take some of that money and hire out more devs to make this platform the best there ever is. I want SO BADLY for you to replace all my apps. You are so close.
Build out
- more robust communication features to bring in all communication from email, chats, even phone calls and other communication apps and I will pay you what I pay podium.
- more detailed and comprehensive automation and I'll pay you what I pay Zapier
- More granular and customer focused CRM functionality and I'll pay you what I pay hubspot.
PLEASE give me a reason to get rid of all of this nonsense and do it in clickup.

Please! This would take Automations to a whole new level! Now I cannot have the same client name automatically assigned to all subtasks of a larger task, which is waste of time doing it manually.

Dynamic Fields would be a big win for Automations. It would enable us to be able to Comment. Based on Data that is selected. Form Fields / Custom Field Data Collection is important to relay. Having this would be a game changer I feel for Clickup.
Essentially I would like to be able to post in a comment that is triggered entering information that is related to the task.
I hope this helps!
