Show empty fields in List view, when grouping by Custom Field
under review
Guy Mannerings
Currently, when you group by a Custom Field in List view, if there are no results for a particular field option, the Custom Field option does not show.
This is not useful if you like to move things between custom fields by dragging tasks.
For example, if you have a List grouping by a Dropdown Custom Field for each day of the week, but you have no items with the option "Thursday", Thursday simply does not show on the List.
It would be useful to be able to toggle empty Custom Field groups on, so that Thursday could be shown.
You can do this with empty Statuses and dates, but not Custom Fields.
You can also show empty columns on Board view when grouping by a Custom Field, but not List view.

Yes please, having to leave "placeholder" tasks to keep the sections from showing. A bit of a eye sore.

Yes please! Just got annoyed by this today when trying to have my daily focus work in a small Window on the screen side.
List view for my small window case is way better than Board view.
Since ClickUp can't aggregate different statuses I tried to use my own Custom Field for my Task Statuses, to aggregate, however not behaving like "show empty statuses" option like with custom fields you group by on Board views is just tooo many clicks :/

Merged in a post:
Allow "show empty statuses" function but for other fields like priority
Damian Connors
I group some of my personal lists by priority, I'd like to be able to see all priority levels even if they are empty. Bonus would be for other custom fields too, like dropdowns.
Robert Stockley
Agree with you here Guy, this has been a useful feature within Asana as it allows you to drag and drop tasks between certain groups easily.

The only workaround is to not use a custom field and instead use the status (which has the option to show empty groups as well)... the board view is what I'm currently using as an alternative....
I would say that is a design mistake. By default, empty groups should always be displayed as well and as an alternative an option should be provided to hide empty groups.
