Lookup/Reference Custom Field
Kara Shepard
It would be incredible if we could see a "lookup" custom field added! I'm currently working with a client trying to decide if we're going to have to spill some work/data over into airtable because she's needing data that ClickUp can't provide currently.
Use Case example: We'd like to be able to have multiple reference lists (think list of businesses and list of contacts) and be able to link the task with the contact to the task with the business name via relationship and then populate that contact info in "lookup" custom fields on the business list also (the point is that if someone leaves the business, the task relationship can be severed, but you don't lose the contact info).
Major bonus points if data and dashboards could be pulled based on these relationships as well. Like layered conditional data sets.
Thanks team!

We're having a similar issue where we have a list of users and their IDs that we need to 'lookup' based on who is the assignee. We could generate hundreds of automations to make this work or move to Airtable or something similar because ClickUp is lacking the lookup functionality that we need.
We have another use case where we have products that are often referenced for our projects. We used to be able to reference/'lookup' these products in another software, but in moving to ClickUp lost that functionality. Our users and management would love to have that back.
