Item/Task Description in 'List & Table View'.

Vishal Thakkar

Ideally it would be very helpful & more productive to have the ability to see 'Description' for any item in the 'List View'.
Technically this can be done by adding a 'new long text' field as well, however that would mean we are duplicating the text/content, as the Description for the task/item is already written in the Description Column.
So please,  consider the feature of displayed 'Description' field info in a Column under list-view.

Michael Van Doorn Please come back and get this feature back on the priority list!!

Ideally, I believe this feature should offer flexibility with the option to either wrap text or truncate. Additionally, a “show more” option for vertical expansion would be useful for those who only want more control and expand or collapse some descriptions. This would allow users to choose between having a fixed row height or having it expand dynamically to accommodate wrapped content.
By implementing these options, ClickUp could cater to various user preferences, whether they prefer a locked row height, a dynamic row height, or a combination via the “show more” functionality.
Furthermore, in both List/Table view, it would be helpful to have a preview option for the 'Description' field. This could be achieved by either hovering over the Description field (similar to the 'Activity' field) or by clicking on the Description field itself to trigger a preview, similar to how the full List Description is displayed when directly clicked.
This would improve usability and allow users to manage task descriptions in a more efficient and customizable way.

would be great to have the hover-over description view (that we have in the list view) in the same way for the table view

Tom Percival

This would be very useful thanks.

Can we make this happen guys? How hard can it be to add it for list view as well since you solved it for board view?

I still agree that I'd like to see all fields in ClickUp be more modular and flexible (and linkable). To me, the Description field can be seen as a Doc page or as a long text field. Either way, it would be nice to see at least a preview of the text in Description, since it IS the description for the task...

I used the description field as an additional item ID - only realised after a week of work that this field is not available for list & table view :(

Please add - thank you
