Provide bulk edit settings page for Spaces, Folders and List settings
Julian Pustkuchen
Having many Spaces / Folders / Lists opens the requirement for a bulk editing tool to configure the options for each type (3-dot menu) in bulk for multiple.
I think a list with multiselect / bulk-edit of all spaces / folders /lists in the settings area > spaces would make sense. Also you shoulg get there when clicking "Spaces" on top of the Tasks sidebar.
You should be able to filter (e.g. by type) and select elements from the whole tree to run bulk operations on, most important:
- Select Task Status list / inheritance
- Set ClickApps
- Set Default Settings for Views
- Manage Automations
- Set Owner
- Set Sharing & Permissions (inkl. add / remove guests)
- Set Color
- Archive
- Manage custom fields (if not or combine with central field manager)
- Manage tags
- Reorder Folders & Lists
- Add view
- Add List
- Add folder (on space)
Currently you have to do this manually on every list in every folder in every space... "nice" work for hours ;)

I badly need to be able to bulk delete Spaces, I have by accident imported 100+ Spaces from Monday 😳

Still wondering why this essential way of editing spaces/folders/lists hasn't made it into ClickUp 3.0
Guys please this should be a no-brainer - put it on the to do list!

It now June 2023. I'm finding myself going grazy not being able to figure this out. So this feature is still bot around? I'd need to edit the columns to add a custom field, but yeah. Do I really need to do it sepoarately in every list/folder?

I just want to weigh in on this topic as I'm now discovering this isn't yet an option. I have over 200 lists and I'm now discovering improved ways of managing things. This improvement has required us to change how we mark task statuses and this change needs to be rolled out to over 100 lists... We are going to have to make due with the old way of doing things until this amazing bulk edit feature becomes a reality.
Consider this 100+ upvotes!

Create a 3 dot option on the Everything space and have the option to push it to selected folders (and possibly lists), in a check box format or to apply to all. I'm looking for global status updates.

Yes please! Also to "default assign" - for example, it's just 2 people on my team, and I'm the main person taking care of projects. So I'd like to be able to automatically assign any task that gets created to me, and then if I need to assign some to my coworker, I can do that manually.
Any update on those bulk functions?
Thanks!

not only lists, spaces two.

Wow! I am a newer Clickup user and thought I was going crazy because I couldn't figure out how to do exactly what is described by this post. I have wasted SO MUCH of my time having to re-configuer multiple things for every Folder and List inside a Space every time I want to change something at the Space level because it is not pushed down to the children.
If full bulk-editing is too difficult to roll out quickly.... how about adding a setting where we can say "inherit x, y and/or z from the parent"? Then we could set our Folder/Lists that way and when we make a change to x at the Space level and it will be inherited automatically by all Folder/Lists in that space.
At the very least, this would allow the start of true inheriting. Next, you could add the ability to pick and choose and bulk edit as described in the original post.
It's just horrible not to have this type of setting. I have wasted so much time re-configuring Folders/Lists. I can't imagine how much more time I will waste as I keep adding more to Clickup.
