Split tasks - multiple task schedules / allocations on the timeline
beta
Gamba (BW)
It's very common that some tasks may take a long time to complete, and in that period they might be interrupted or paused by some circumstance, and resumed later.
Right now, there isn't a comfortable way to visualize this, because having the task split in two or more separate tasks might lead to redundancy in it's descriptions, checklists, etc.
Having an insanely long task all over a Gantt diagram isn't optimal either, specially when it was really worked on 50% of it's declared time.

Fellow ClickUppers, I have exciting news to share with you!
We’re getting ready to beta test this feature
Multi-Interval Task Scheduling
— split one task into multiple time blocks
(each with its own start/end) so work that starts, pauses, and resumes stays in one
task. No extra subtasks, better capacity signals.T

Vasil Enchev YES!!!

I'm looking forward to this update! My team would use this in the calendar view the most. They want to be able to time block out their projects that have multiple steps, so they can see that they need to work on it on Monday, follow up with some items on Wednesday, and wrap it up the following Monday. Having the ability to place a task on multiple days would create some ease and more accuracy with capacity planning.

We hugely need this feature as a priority. We have a very start/stop industry so need to easily reflect the gaps that could be filled with other tasks

Exited to move this to planned as it will allow a lot of new workflows for ClickUp and true resource management.

When in timeline view, it would be great to be able to split a task so that you can accommodate PTO and Office Closure easily. Or, maybe right click and duplicate the task so you can drag and drop it where you need it after the PTO time.

The “Split Task” functionality, as the name describes it, allows the possibility to interrupt work on a task, due to cases such as an unplanned event or even a task reprioritization, you can split the task so that part of it starts later in the schedule.

I use ClickUp for managing any different things, not just project or task management.
If you look at the attached screenshot below, I use the Gantt chart view as an Absence Calendar for my project team. The project member Eva is off-workwork from December 10th to 17th, but she is also off-work from December 23 to 25th. Right now there is no way to split up the task into different dates. So Excel or MS Project are still the tools to use for this purpose.
I use Task Split very often in MS Project, when using ClickUp, I do really miss this feature. It's very useful with task split, please implement it.
See video here so you understand how Task split in MS project works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsJX3b3MdgY&ab_channel=SkillForge

Is this on the horizon? This is needed for ClickUp to make it's way into the resource planning software space.

Tim Facemyer: We’re coming strong to the resource planning space! Stay tuned!
