Hello,

I am also experiencing issues with number formatting in ClickUp. In Poland, like in many European countries, we use a comma (,) as a decimal separator, but ClickUp still displays numbers in the US format with a dot (.). This causes confusion when working with financial data and custom fields.

It would be great if ClickUp could respect regional settings or allow manual customization of separators. Looking forward to this feature!

Thanks!

Hello, Ivan Villa, Zeb Caroline Ginty

If you search the feedback section for situations like this, you'll find many similar requests. This would greatly help users, as it's a major regionalization issue in ClickUp.

I believe that when it comes to localization, date and currency formatting is one of the most important aspects—probably the first or second most requested improvement.

Here are some key improvements that would be extremely useful:

Currency Formatting

Choose the currency symbol format: US$, $, USD, etc.

Adjust the position of the currency symbol:

1,000 USD

USD 1,000

$1,000

Configure decimal places:

1,000

1,000.00

1,000.000

Customize thousand and decimal separators:

1.000,00

1,000.00

1,000,00

Date Formatting

Customize date formats:

01/14/2025, 14/01/2025, 14/01/25, 01/14/25

01-14-2025, 14-01-2025, 14-01-25, 01-14-25

Choose between full and abbreviated date display:

Full: "14 JANUARY 2025", "JANUARY 14 2025", "14 JANUARY 25"

Abbreviated: "14 JAN 2025", "JAN 14 2025", "14 JAN 25"

A smart adjustment where the short format is displayed when the column width is tight, and the full format appears when expanded, would be a great solution.

Ensure that ClickUp follows the configured format.

Currently, even when setting dd/mm/yyyy, ClickUp still only shows dd/mm/yy in some cases.

Show full date on hover.

When a date is displayed as "Today," "Tomorrow," "Yesterday," "Monday," etc., hovering over it should reveal the full formatted date.

Workspace vs. Personal Settings

These settings should be workspace-wide, ensuring consistency across all users.

However, individual users should be able to override them with their personal preferences (language, dates, currencies, etc.).

By default, a user’s settings could follow the workspace configuration, but they should have the option to customize it.

This might not be widely discussed if most users are American, but for those who use non-US formats, these are among the most important feature requests in this category.

Would love to hear if there are any plans to implement this!

I believe this post should be merged with this one:

Yeah thats really terrible tbh. This simply leads to errors and should be fixed ASAP. I use CU for a private project, and pay 10€ per month to have custom field and calculations .. and I can't copy sums from my invoices because of this. So I need to enter everything manually and ensure to write the US format.. what really sucks.

Often times we have a field where the data needs to fit a specific format. Even if it is a number, we have to use the Text field type so we don't have the comma. Can you please add a Custom Format field that is similar to creating a custom format in Excel?

We're still waiting for this, it would make more sense to be a bug than a feature request, since it's basically showing a wrong format for half the world. Even our keyboard makes it difficult, here we have a comma where you have a dot in your numeric, typing and visualizing numbers is a daily pain.

I am using ClickUp in Mozambique, and the format for currency needs to be adjusted to:

Currency: MZN - Mozambican Metical (MT)

Current Format: MT272,272

Correct Format: MT 272.272,00

*The space between the currency code and the number enhances readability.

The format follows ISO 4217 standards.
