Remove from list Automation

This is truly a necessity. Especially when mirroring a task. Is there any ETA?

Zach, so I will be more emphatic - not that it will do any good at all - the issue is a lack of resources applied. Clickup has applied untolled resources to its AI efforts while leaving long outstanding - and what I believe are relatively simple - items open. In my view, Clickup has a demonstarted behavior to not finish what it starts, rather it moves onto the next new and glamorous 'thing'.
You can tell me I am wrong, but Clickup's actions speak much louder in support of my view.

Zach, I don't like being negative but . . . Nov of 2020 with 500+ votes and just platitudes in a soon to be a 5-year old request. <shaking head>
You individually may care but Clickup as an organization clearly doesn't. And before you respond that Clickup does, I would ask you to embrace 'actions speak louder than words'.
Zach
Kirk Woodhouse I hear you. We actually very recently ran a survey to make sure we're working on the right things. While there were a bunch of questions, one was specifically about "new" triggers/conditions/actions. See image below👇
So, we’re definitely aware of this ask and want to get to it. That said, there are a few other requests that the broader ClickUp userbase is asking for first, so those will take priority.
Hope this helps clarify where things stand and I’m looking forward to the day we can tackle this feature request!

Zach I understand there is a lot on the roadmap, and while I still love this platform and would call myself a ClickUp evangelist, I am dissappointed that poll is what is blocking this request. 239 people took that poll. 518 people have upvoted this. It is clear to me that more people want this than the 110 people that voted for that top request in the poll.....
Zach
Cole Hunt: Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and for being patient with us. I totally get where you’re coming from and this feature is definitely on our radar. We’re seeing requests come in from all over the place (including that poll), and we’re doing our best to prioritize based on what’s getting the most votes. For example in Canny, Timed Automations has 976 votes right now, and the Time in Status trigger has 874 from the survey.
I promise we’ll get to this - we just want to make sure we’re working on things in the right order. I really do appreciate your understanding and support.

For a workaround, I use a webhook to call a make.com automation to "remove from list" when my trigger applies. Use the 'Make an API Call' Module and use syntax attached. The ids in blue will be the location and id of the task you're looking to remove.
Zach
Totally hear you all on this - it's a big gap that you can add to a list with Automations but not remove. We're tracking this feedback and it's on our radar for future improvements. Thanks for calling it out and helping us make Automations better!

Zach This would be an important addition especially to remove mistakes we made that triggered some automations.
Thank You for your hard work.

Zach in addition to the feature gap with removing tasks from lists, there's also a longstanding bug when using an automation to move tasks from one list to another.
For instance: if I have a task that lives in List A, and I add it to List B as well, then I trigger an automation that's supposed to move the task from List B to List C, the automation will instead move the base task from List A to List C, leaving the instance of the task in List B were it is.
This bug made a mess out of my lists when I first discovered it. I've been anxiously waiting years now for it to be fixed. Until it is, most of my automations are useless.

Yes, this is causing us a lot for problem as there are automations to add to list but none to remove from list if some mistake is made.

I use the 'add to list' when I assign a user, but I have to MANUALLY remove the assignee and remove the list there were assigned to... It's causing my team members individual workspaces to be cluttered with a bunch of project tasks they were part of but have now done their part. Please add this!!! It makes no sense that you have the 'add to list' but not 'remove from list' automation :( It's like a half baked cake...
Andrea Darth Flader
Pleeeeease make this a standard automation. Please I beg!!!

Add me to the list of users who need this functionality.
Aditya Singh
Our team really really needs this feature. I can see so many similar upvotes here which clearly means I am not the only one looking for this functionality and its so so simple. We already have Add to List automation, but we should also have Remove from List automation for this whole cycle to function properly. Please look into this.
