The current time tracking feature is decent, but it would be far more useful if the tracked time could be added to a custom field. This would allow us to use formulas with time tracked, time estimated, and other values to calculate key metrics for our teams. Right now, the only way to access time tracked data is through dashboards, which offer limited options for building detailed metrics. Adding time tracking as a custom field would open up many more possibilities.

Kindly help me create in this implementing this:

Situation:

I use a list to keep track of all my Projects

Every project has it's own list

Ask:

Now I want to see the total time I spent completing the project.

My solution (close but still not correct):

Creating an automation to create blocking dependency in the Project List and then using a rollup to sum all the time tracked in that dependency.

Problem with this approach:

I can have other dependencies too outside the project which will disturb the accuracy.

I would like at least seeing a status of tasks, which have time tracked against them last week...

I’d like to add my voice to the ongoing request for more robust time tracking and reporting capabilities, especially around filtering by the actual date a timesheet entry was logged.

We’re currently building a dashboard to support a cost-sharing initiative ("compartilhamento de custos") and need to analyze how specific tags are represented within a given quarter.

While we can filter time entries by tag, there’s no way to filter those entries by the date the time was tracked. The only similar filter available—“Date Updated”—brings in all time entries related to tasks updated in that timeframe, regardless of when the time was actually logged. This results in inaccurate reporting, especially for long-running tasks like epics that span the whole year.

When exporting time entries as CSV, we can see the actual log dates, so the data exists—but it’s currently not usable within dashboards or native reports.

What we need:

The ability to filter by the time entry date (log date), not just task-level metadata.

Accurate time-based filtering for reports that span months or quarters.

This is critical for any team that needs time data tied to financial periods, client billing, or internal cost allocations.

I hope this functionality is being prioritized. This is pretty basic for data analysis.

Thanks for your continued support

Exporting a specific task's time tracked entries including descriptions of each time tracked event from a large list of tasks is impossible which makes the entire export process a joke and terrible to work with. So much wasted time cleaning up the exports. Let us choose what fields will be in the export and please for the sanity of anyone stuck having to do this, allow to filter by specific task(s).

Example: Our top level "Parent" tasks on one of our lists is for our Clients. All time tracking is done on that specific Client (parent) task. I cannot (without massive effort) get JUST that specific client's tracked time and work descriptions. I have to get the whole list of all clients, go into excel, sort the list, delete all tasks that aren't relevant, go through and delete about 30+ columns that are worthless, format all the columns/rows, sort again based on date, change the time to be decimal format hours (1.25 = 1 hour 15 minutes) and then tally up all the hours.

What is this, 1985?

Survey is closed, unable to vote any longer.

To help our team start tracking time against tasks, we have been able to create two automations.

An automation to add 1m to my timesheet against a specific task when:

I wish it could also:

I need to be able to produce a report of time tracked per assignee on a task (project for us) which includes the time tracked on subtasks for that assignee. Right now it seems unusable for something that should be a primary function of a project management software?

I'm trying to manage some kind of staffing ratio analysis so we can track our performance and help drive our efforts and reach objectives.

I've come up with some kind of dashboard using the "last update" filter but it will add up all the time tracked related to the task instead of the time tracked in the "last month" setting I'm using, therefore introducing some considerable error margins.

It would be nice to have a dashboard card that can achieve graphs with time tracked, using assignees, custom field and time as options for axis, group, filter, etc.

If anyone has a good workaround in the time being, I'd love to hear about it :)

Here's an example of what we have for the moment.

Colors = label context (billable, management, internal, Biz.Dev, etc.)

Columns = Assignees

Result = Quick overview of where everyone tracked time in the last 30 days, using our own custom values.

Cheers.

I'd love to suggest a few improvements to the ClickUp timer feature located in the computer's top toolbar. It would be incredibly helpful if users could stop the timer directly from the toolbar, rather than having to open the full app or timer window. This would streamline workflows and reduce distractions. Additionally, having the timer icon change color or visually indicate when it's active would provide a clear, at-a-glance confirmation that time tracking is running—especially useful when multitasking. These enhancements would greatly improve usability and make the timer more intuitive.

We would also benefit from this improvement.
