Spreadsheet / Table View Improvements
Jake Spirek
First off, I'm super happy that this new view is here! I also am very much looking forward to the lookups/rollups, because that will be amazing and very Airtable-like.
That said, I was hoping for just a little bit more spreadsheet-like functionality:
- Make it easier to add more rows on the fly without having to click the Add Task button on the bottom and add things the normal way.
- Make it possible to copy and paste entire cells and even rows. (I know that's asking a lot, but it would be very helpful!)
- Add a "fill handle" in the bottom right of cells, just like in spreadsheets, so you can drag that value down to multiple cells.
In short, make it easier to select and copy cells into other cells. The power of spreadsheets in this context is the ability to quickly modify lots of tasks at once (without having to use the Multitask Toolbar)
I explain it better here in this video:
Thanks!

Copy/Paste Text from Excel into "multiple tasks" while using a signifier like ';' for pre-set descriptions.

You can already copy/paste text in-bulk from Excel into List-Mode and set as "multiple tasks" - but it would be nice to have a signified or separator symbol like ; such that all text found after the ; would automatically go into the Task Description.

Paste values from sheets/csv

It would be great if we were able to paste values from sheets or csv (for generated leads for example).
Let's say i have a list view with tasks and custom fields set just as my csv table.
It would be cool that I can just copy and paste the values from csv into the list and all values go into their respective field, not all into the name of the task.

TBH, I'd love to see all of these (especially the Fill Handle) in the list view too.

The inability to paste values from google sheets or excel into a table is really frustrating. Would like to copy multiple cells and rows from an external sheet and paste into a table in clickup.

We can now edit the background color of tables in docs - would be fantastic if we could do that to the cells in a table VIEW.

I'm not sure the use case of table view without these features.
Table view is basically just List view with more visual clutter without these. lol.

Please add the Folder, and Space columns to the table view, so that when at the everything level. We can add those columns. This is present for the Admins if they export from the import/export under workspace settings

Yes, I would like if clickup can map things copied from the internet to some compatible custom fields.
For eg: if I copy table from this link: https://help.clickup.com/hc/en-us/articles/6303499162647-Custom-Field-types
It should be robust enough to map things with my task name, task description (or long text fields), example (text field), and options (text field)

Would love the ability to add bulleted/numbered text within the "long text" column option! It's a bit messy right now just lumping it all together.

6 Stars Cleaning: Yes! And also show the same formatting/colors in rollups of dropdowns as in the original task...
