Statuses by task type

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.

Updated Dec 2025:

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 :)

Not having this function impairs our workflow, we like to have different task types in one list and task types have specific status

currently my number 1 blocker for our team onboarding as its making the system less intuitive as we cant have set statuses per task type. A risk follows different stages to a change request. These for us are all managed on a single list. Current work around of a custom field driving a common status means lots of mistakes and confusion for users.

I want to upvote this as well! This would VASTLY help with the management of our work space. Right now our work templates have multiple lists for each Task Type to achieve this but we would LOVE to be able to simplify our approach!

Then we can actually use subtasks & custom statuses. Right now these 2 are deadlocked in conflict due to the home list relationship to the parent task/subtask relationship & the custom status. PLEASE APPLY THIS ASAP. Even the biggest clickup influencers say the custom task type is a waste of time, despite how valuable it could be. We have to add hours of development to build sloppy work arounds & for companies like mine who work out of the mobile app, this is a deal breaker. If I didn’t spent thousands of dollars & hundred of hours already to build this, I would be out for this reason alone.

Even the ability to add more than one "Closed" status would be huge (i.e. Launched vs Failure to Launch).

Ivan Villa It's been over a year since the last update. Are there any updates you can share on this. The engagement with this post leads me to believe this is a highly anticipated feature.

Mark Hoffman

This please!

status by task type would be great way to allow different statuses for parent task (deal) and subtasks (action items)
