Statuses by task type
considering
Ivan Villa
Problem:
Often within a single list, we have different types of tasks: some represent projects, designs, and smaller action items. Each one should go through their own set of statuses, but this is currently not possible.
We are forced to either use dropdown custom fields as a workaround or create large status sets to try and encompass everything, leading to confusion among people.
Ask:
- Give the ability for statuses to be set by type.
- This will allow each task type to have its own status workflow.

This would be a significant improvement to ClickUp. My team perceives this as crucial and has been looking for an alternative to ClickUp because of that. I will share with them that it's being considered, however, the fact that this has been asked 2 years ago and it's been mark as 'Considering' only today, that is conserning to me.

Ivan Villa now that customer fields per task type has been launched, could we assume that this is next on the list for task type improvements? It is still tricky to create good breakdowns for website build projects that have pages, templates, modules and general tasks in a single list because each of them would need a separate set of statuses. Keeping them in different lists and having duplicates in a single overview list also doesn't work because of the different statuses.

Ivan Villa - Do you have any insight on if this is an item that may see some attention? This is an item that would make my workflow within ClickUp significantly smoother.

Aaron Zielinsky No dates yet for this one. We are taking these task-type improvements incrementally, and currently, we are working through custom fields by task type. So once we can get that one out of beta and available for all, then we can pick up another one in the queue :)

Ivan Villa Thank you! Really appreciate the focus on these improvements and really excited to see these features as they become available!

currently we get lots of mistakes with users as they default to changing a status rather than the custom field we are having to use as a work around. We have multiple teams managing projects in Clickup and want to drive consistency .... that means a consistent way of using and interacting with the tool. For us our project task type needs a different set of statuses to that of a risk which is different again to a change request etc.

Would need it.
Have this "Documentation" group in the development but cannot assign "Code review" as a status that means it has to be checked by the product owner.

PLEASE prioritize this. Our entire usage of Clickup is getting frustrating because of the need of complicated work-arounds.

Please add or at least allow different statuses for parent and child tasks.
