Granular settings for Required Custom Fields
Brent Evans
Right now, all required custom fields are required in every location that the field exists. Selecting specific locations where the custom field is required instead of defaulting to all locations would be helpful [from a support ticket]

Definitely would like this!
I would like a Custom Field to be required, apart from in certain locations.

Merged in a post:
Require Custom Fields In Certain Views
Kea Allen
Would love if I could require a custom field ONLY if it is visible in that particular view/ based on certain situations.
Example: I have a list that represents the clients I am supporting and a bunch of department-specific custom fields. Since there are so many custom fields combined/ that's an overwhelming amount of info the the client, I created views that each department can use for the client. I want to require that, for example, someone HAS to fill out x custom field if it's in x view. However, it'll make that field required in y view, even if that team doesn't need to fill out the x custom field.
This would even be helpful if I could require a custom field IF it was a certain task type.

Hi Kea Allen - thank you for this feedback! We're getting closer to this as we have an open beta ongoing for Custom Fields by Task Type - I would encourage you to sign up to check it out! https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/custom-fields-by-task-type

We have automations that move tasks from one list to another during different project phases. I have CF's that are required in Sales, but not required post sales. I don't mind the custom fields being present in every list and subtask, but since they remain as a required field in the subtask ever task now has an irrelevant required CF that is not able to be hidden or deprioritized.

Just adding on to this granular setting request for custom fields: have the same apply to Pinning so it is location specific.
Or perhaps a selection for Pin/Require functionality that user makes selection whether it applies only in current list or across the workplace

In order to use ClickUp for workflows, this is critical.

Just the thing I need in my company. It would useful to manage where CF is required and where not. Possibility to add a color for required CF's could make a big step for UX.

Up! This will really be helpful to organize and reduce redundancy of having the same fields just because of the *required setting.

This would be extremely helpful

This seems very basic to me. How can a field be required for every single board within an organisation? Some fields are extremely mandatory for some parts of an organisation's work-flow, and other fields are entirely irrelevant for other parts of an organisation's work-flow?
