Link 2 Date Custom Fields (Date Range)

Tori Ponce

We have 2 date custom fields called "Goal Start" & "Goal Due" to keep a record of the original targets, but it would be nice if we could link those two fields to each other so they would function more like the Start/Due Date fields.

This functionality would probably enable you to more easily allow date custom fields to be used in Gantt, Timeline, & Workload views (https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/allow-custom-date-fields-to-replace-due-date-as-basis-for-gannt-timeline-and-wor).

@Caroline Ginty - Hey Caroline! Any word on this from your team?

This is critical to being able to illustrate the deployment of paid ads, on air ads, etc. etc.

Peter Atkinson: No updates on this one just yet. It's not something we're actively working on right now, but we'll post here if that changes. Thanks for sharing your interest!

I am using this for monthly reporting, so I would like to select a date range for when the data should be populated by Brain.

Jeff Peshoff

yes i'll add to this. I'm in the same boat.

Want my own start/end date? I have Campaigns. And the start date for the task and due date i use is when I have to make/complete the campaign. I also have a custom field called pulbish date, and that is when I publish the Campaign. But I need to see the length of time the campaign runs in calnedar view. So I'd have two calendars, one that shows when the campaigns get published, and the other the length of the campaigns. That will make sscheduling easier.

This is a very important feature in our case. We use ClickUp to plan real world events, which all have events-within-events. The task 'Due Date' is important for us in the normal sense so that we can have efficient planning ahead of time. But we also need to be able to see the event in calendar view where we see all the events (tasks) planned out when they actually happen. Currently we have to use Start Date and Due Date to see this, but this means we loose the ability to set a due date to be when we want the organisation for the event to be completed.

We need this, Im using 2 different date custom fields for Ad Campaings so "Campaign Start" and "Campaign End" I really would love to get the option to get a Custom Field that works just as the Due Date regular field, That you can set Start Date as well, so when You use the Custom Field on Calendar View, you can see the task stretching the whole range of dates as a regular task using Start and Due dates.

Sunny See

Agreed! This really useful for project management! please make this happen!

Mara

I'd love that too!

Mary Bliden

This would make a huge difference for us in managing events, we want to leverage the due dates for when work needs to be done but still want to see dates of the actual event.

Syd Harris

This would be instrumental in our workflows

Faisal Abdin

This really would be useful.

Right now in calendar view we can only choose the start and due date of the task. In our use case thats the event date. We also have the start and end date of the setup of the event that we also want to see in the calendar; now that is not possible because date custom field will only show one block on the calendar. If we want to see the setup pre event dates we cant create 10 columns for 10 days that is not practical. Having a date range in the date custom field would be very useful in that case
