Ordering of custom fields in task

under review

Quinn Danyluk

When custom fields are created, the order of the fields can be customized in the Manage custom fields for the list view. However, this does not translate to the order that the custom fields appear in the task (which is set strictly to an alphabetical order). The order in the task should be customizable and reflect the order in the Manage custom fields.

Hi all - thanks for the feedback on this! We currently allow for either A-Z ordering for custom fields, or drag/drop manual reordering; however, there is a certain order that is always respected today: Required Custom Fields, Pinned Custom Fields, Custom Fields w/ values, Custom Fields w/o values.

I'd love to hear from you here on how you would like to see this ordering work for custom fields across your Workspace to best enable your workflows across teams!

It would make more sense from an end-user perspective to allow the fields to be moved according to the user's wants/needs especially for those creating and mostly using custom fields.

This is a must have feature!! please implement this

I woud really like the ability to rearrange the order of the custom fields within the task view

We should have the ability to order Custom Fields in the way they were created ie chronological pattern of the Form.
Or, at least be able to manually order custom fields at the list level to then save it as a permenant view in Tasks.
This needs to be sorted ASAP!

We need to be able to manually order custom fields at the list level (regardless of where the field originated) from the custom field manager, so that order carries over to tasks within that list.

hey . its so important for us to have the option to set the orders of the custom field. its super annoying now ant it affect our abillity to manage proparly

As of now, there is no way to reorder manually using drag/drop despite Caroline Ginty 's comment on this.

I'd love to be able to manage them in columns as Tony Cunningham suggested as well as being able to set a manual order, e.g. by having a field for the order in the custom field settings and putting in numbers for priority.

Would also like to have 2 or 3 columns to spread more horizontally, rather than having one long vertical column with unnecessarily wide input boxes. Something like the Form designer, but more compact. (I love the information density of ClickUp.) Thanks!

It would be very helpful to be able to set deault custom fields for all of my tasks in task view. I always find myself adding in the field "see latest comment" in task view, but have to do this individually for every task, which is annoying. Also, I do not need the assignee column to be visible in my task views but I cannot change this to no longer be a default field in task view.

Caroline Ginty In your comment from 2/2023 you wrote that you currently have drag/drop manual reordering, but this doesn't seem to exist in the current task custom fields view. Can you clarify? We definitely would like to see this functionality.
