I would like the ability to generate a "Relationship Tree" (similar to a mindmap view) whereby you could lookup a primary ticket and map the relationships to that ticket (including the type/name of relationship), then map the relationships of each the related tickets to their relationships and so on. This would be very helpful from a portfolio level to see what projects relate to a certain program, then what increments are related the projects, what user stories are in each increment, etc. It would be helpful even just to track all of the related work that is spread across multiple teams/spaces.

It's currently not possible to have this kind of visibility. Options are very limited because:

(1) it's not feasible to treat each layer as a subtask, and

(2) you cannot see the relationships unless you open each task individually

(3) you cannot link to an entire list of tasks, or all lists within a folder if you were to organize work that in project lists or folders

ISSUE

ClickUp lacks a native graph view to visualize relationships across Tasks, Docs, Goals etc. Users rely on fragmented List dependencies or manual Whiteboards. Pain points: 1) Only direct links visible, no full web; 2) No drag-to-reposition nodes; 3) Selecting a task doesn't highlight its entire relationship chain; 4) No cross-entity network overview.

IMPROVEMENT PROPOSAL

New native Network Graph View with all entities as nodes and typed relationships as edges. Ten core improvements:

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

Feasible via D3.js force-directed graph (Web Worker + React); no new backend needed—ClickUp already stores typed relationships; only a bulk-fetch endpoint required. Progressive loading ensures performance at scale.

COMPETITOR APPROACHES (condensed)

COMPETITIVE GAP SUMMARY

Native Graph View: ClickUp❌ Notion❌ Obsidian✅(notes only) Fibery❌ Airtable⚠️(single-table) Coda❌

Multi-Entity Nodes: ClickUp❌ Notion❌ Obsidian❌ Fibery❌ Airtable❌ Coda❌

Typed Multi-Relation Edges: All❌ (ClickUp data model exists, no viz)

Drag-to-Reposition: Only Obsidian (global graph)

Selection Highlight Chain: Only Obsidian (hover-based)

Depth & Expand/Collapse: Only Obsidian (local graph)

Time Playback, Cross-Space Graph, Relationship Editing, First-Party No-Code: None fully deliver.

CONCLUSION

No competitor offers a native, multi-entity, typed-relationship, interactive graph view with drag-to-arrange, selection highlighting, and bidirectional editing. ClickUp already has the relational data foundation to build this as a first-in-class differentiator.

Nested subtasks are useful for visualizing work breakdown structures in List view. However, they create limitations when trying to organize different types of work that don’t fit neatly into a hierarchy.

A new view that preserves the clarity and structure benefits of nested subtasks—but instead focuses on displaying task relationships—would greatly improve flexibility and organization. This would allow us to see dependencies, related tasks, and categories of work in a more meaningful way, without forcing everything into a parent/subtask model.

I would like to request the addition of a new view that visualizes task relationships as a network graph.

When I use ClickUp from the very early stages of ideation, projects often become increasingly complex. Each task (or idea) expands like a small universe, branching out in multiple directions.

Because of this, it becomes difficult for me to clearly understand how each idea is connected, where clusters form, and how the overall structure looks.

For example, during brainstorming for a service development project, ideas may branch into themes like “User Experience,” “Technical Requirements,” and “Design Concepts.” When these idea-nodes start influencing or depending on each other, list-based views alone don’t give me an intuitive grasp of the relationships.

A network graph view with the following features would greatly enhance my workflow:

(Example: I manage OKRs and project tasks separately, and I often want to see how Key Results connect to their contributing tasks as a single network.)

A network-style visualization like this would serve as a “map” for organizing complex, expanding ideas, helping me better understand the overall structure and spot risks or dependency chains early.

Finally, I’m genuinely grateful for ClickUp’s flexible and powerful platform. I deeply appreciate the continuous improvements and dedication of your development team.

Would be nice to have a view that illustrates the relationship between tasks. My motivation here is not for work related tasks, but static data-points in the system (though, no reason why it would not work in other situations). The simplest example I can think of is a reporting structure, where a relationship named "reports to" and other "stakeholders" are added to it. It would have a similar result to using a Mind Map view if subordinate "stakeholders" were subtasks of other "stakeholders". However, subtask hierarchies just to product a visual output is often an anti-pattern.

This request is very similar to the following feature in visualisation, but differs in functionality https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/task-completion-graph-view-representation
