Keep top fields in same position

Status, Assignees, and Track time seems to always stay in the same spot, but the rest do not (estimate, tags, priority etc). For example, Time Estimate should always be below Track Time, not occasionally below Status or Assignees, depending on what fields are displaying. The old version kept these fields in the same spot always which is preferred and much faster.

Update: After working with this new view for a while now, I find it clunky that I have to look/click in two places to add things like start/due date or time estimate. In other words, I have to first look to see if this info is already listed, and it's not consistent with where the field would be listed (see my original comment where the fields I use are in different places), but then if the info is NOT there, I then have to go to the top of the window to find the button (icon) to add that info. It really slows me down and feels like I'm doing a lot of searching.
I liked it better when the fields all stayed in the same space and you just clicked on that field if you wanted to add data. This is harder to train someone too. "Look in this general area, then find the icon on top to add the info."

Kelly Neyland: One potential feature is this request of mine: https://clickup.canny.io/task3/p/fixed-header-functionality
It requests that those header items remain fixed while scrolling, so you can always see whether or not they exist. Maybe the header items should also stay in the header regardless of if they've been set, with a little indicator or color contrast showing if they're set or unset.

At this point it seems like all ClickApps items aren't visible by default. But I agree that setting default visibility would be useful.
I would add regarding white space.
I think it depends on person's workflow and why that person opens a task. For me, if I need to see those basic task fields in the top I would setup a view with required columns for an overview.
But I can't put everythig into view so I would open a task for description/updates/checklists.

On a related note, I think including the standard field icons next to those fields would also help with speedy visual identification. Maybe it was a deliberate decision to remove those for UI cleanness, but I'd be interested to see if having the icons back makes it easier to find the desired field.

Carson: YES! I agree.
