Update Nov 2025: This feature is on our radar, but not on the committed roadmap at this time. We are hoping to get to this soon, and I'll keep this request updated with anything new as we move forward.

Would love to have and use this feature. It should be optional, as some fellow commenters pointed out below.
Adding a use case:
We use custom fields to fully track our projects' profitability:
- Time contracted (Number): the number of person-hours we sell for delivering a task (as per the PO)
- Hourly rate (Currency): the service fee we charge /hour on that task (depending on seniority etc.)
- Total contracted fee (Formula): calculated from the time contracted and the hourly rate fields.
This way we can report and compare the contracted numbers against the actual timesheet data.
In this scenario, we definitely want to be able to rollup Time contracted and Total contracted fee values, but it wouldn't make any sense to rollup the Hourly rate.

Just like you rollup time tracked from subtasks to parent task, it would make sense to be able to do the same thing with number or currency fields. There is a calculate button at the bottom of the columns, but that will calculate all of the tasks in that grouping, when it's important to be able to do this for subtasks to parent task.

can number custom fields rollup be used in formula field? If this functionality isn’t currently supported, I strongly recommend that the platform consider adding it!

We need this to be efficient !! Today, we need to copy and paste the information of each Custom field to several subtask. We have 20-25 custom field...

Bugra Oktay Please make this optional. I definitely do NOT want custom fields automatically being applied to parent tasks from subtasks. It should be asked as a question when you edit a subtask, or set as a user setting.

Very much needed

Merged in a post:
Roll Up Number Custom Fields from Subtasks to Parent Tasks
Nicky Salido
I would like to request the ability to automatically roll up (sum, average, or aggregate) number custom fields from subtasks to their parent task in ClickUp. This would work similarly to the current Time Estimates and Time Tracking rollup features, but for any custom field of type “number.”
Why this is important:
Many workflows require tracking quantities, costs, or other numeric values at the subtask level and seeing the total at the parent task.
Manual calculation or dashboard workarounds are time-consuming and error-prone.
This feature would improve reporting, project management, and data accuracy for teams using custom number fields.
Suggested functionality:
Option to enable rollup for specific number custom fields.
Ability to choose the aggregation method (sum, average, min, max).
Display the rolled-up value on the parent task, with a breakdown if needed.
Thank you for considering this improvement!

Nicky Salido Thank you for this request and the details around your use case! I'm going to merge this into the larger request we have for this functionality. Cheers!

Caroline Ginty Appreciete the update. This is a feature that would greatly benefit my company. I look forward to seeing it included in your roadmap sometime in 2026 or 2027. Based on the number of upvotes, I believe many users share the same anticipation.
