Subfolders

It would be very convenient to have the ability to have subfolders. I use folders for classifying projects. For example, Projects would be a Folder name. 2019 Projects would be a Subfolder name.

Hey, everyone! Our current focus is still on performance, speed, reliability and removing bugs from ClickUp!
As soon as that is over our focus is going to immediately shift back to bringing the amazing features and improvements you're waiting for. Subfolders is one our team is looking into!

Dear ClickUp Team, what do you mean by the status "planned"? It makes no sense to give an exact date, but a rough target should be appropriate for the status "planned" and over 4k votes. We are all looking forward to a "more binding" feedback on internal planning in terms of process and structure. Greetings and thanks, Stephan

Would be great for folders to not require a list view in them too with this change

Yes, this will be an extremely crucial feature. Currently I am creating multiple folders for different initiatives that results in unnecessary clicks and navigation issues.

What they should also do is allow us to change the Folder Icon to a custom image same as how you can do this with SPACES. This would then allow us to add a country flag to each region :)
Rob Sorrell
Richard Kapelko: Yes I would love this idea to happen too.

Hello everyone, I just received an update and according to that email, "this feature is planned and expected to be implemented in the second half of next year!".
Rob Sorrell
Edith Lingmann: Next year being 2023?!?!
Edith Lingmann
Rob Sorrell: That's the info I got yeah :/
Veso Yanchev
Edith Lingmann: I hope someone from ClickUp shows up to correct you and say it's just around the corner Q1 2022.
Edith Lingmann
Veso Yanchev: I really hope so too..
Here is the mailing history (happend in January 2022), maybe that helps a little too:
ClickUp: "I reached out to my team and they informed me that the feature request for subfolders is a planned feature and is expected to be implemented in the second half of next year!"
me: "with “second half of next year”, you mean starting around July 2023?"
ClickUp: "Yes, subfolders are planned to be implemented around that time.
I would like to assure you that our developers are hard at work 24/7 improving the platform based on the feedback that you and so many others share, and we do this as quickly as we can against an aggressive development calendar!
There are so many moving parts that come from developing and implementing software. We're not just worried about developing the feature and making sure it works for you, but also making sure it complies with all security regulations, global laws, and coding standards."

Edith Lingmann: Thanks for taking the time to share the update.
Rob Sorrell
Edith Lingmann: Thanks Edith. That is ridiculous. I don't think I can hang around here for that long without subfolders. I can't divide our multiple projects up enough.
Veso Yanchev
Edith Lingmann: Thank you for sharing, this is a bit disappointing.
I can't hide the fact that I've needed this for at least 1 year.

Edith Lingmann: This can't be true - as I noted in an earlier comment, internally I know they use subfolders. Can someone from Clickup confirm, because if true, we'll be moving.
Edith Lingmann
GJ Roelofs: I really hope it isn't true and they were just confused in the years, but that's the info I was given

Richard Kapelko
Rob Sorrell: I want it now as i thought this was possible which really messes up our plans on department setup :(
Rob Sorrell
Richard Kapelko: Yes I agree. Subtasks just doesn't quite do what we need. This is all so frustrating as ClickUp is so close to being perfect, aside from this feature which feels quite basic.

Richard Kapelko
Rob Sorrell: I just had confirmation that the feature is 2023 which sucks. Has anyone requested additional Workspaces to counter this and where they charged extra for the workspaces. Ideally if i could have a Workspace per department as a work around it would work.
Rob Sorrell
Richard Kapelko: Seems amazing that you have had confirmation but I have been told by 2 different support people that they cannot possibly give a date on this. I keep getting told to come here and upvote it. I took the time to go through and look at the other lists in their entirety and not a single other item has more upvotes than Subfolders. I know I have said this before but it makes you wonder what the point of this is.
Rob Sorrell
Richard Kapelko: I used to use extra workspaces but then when I realised that to upgrade, I would need to pay the same fee on each workspace instead of having them combined then it would be too expensive for us. Especially as we have multiple people that cover more than one department. Then we also couldn't transfer things between workspaces. To have multiple workspaces would actually be our preferred route but can't make it cost effective.
Matthew Majcher
Looking forward to this feature! If this was implemented, it could also solve the need for automations on the task level - users could make each task (with potential subtasks) it's own list in the subfolder and have the automations work in context.

Please can we have another update please? There seems to be quite a few more asking for this and it has been 2 years+ since raised.
We would be grateful of an update :)
Thanks
Brendan Wolfe
Ashley Armstrong: Our team is actively looking into this and how it will work in our app with permissions!

Brendan Wolfe: While you are looking at it, please add the ability to have multiple child folders as well, not just one subfolder please.
Brendan Wolfe
jm: Thank you for the feedback! We're investigating all possible options!
Devin Shea
Brendan Wolfe: might be asking too much for the first go round but Wrike's subfolders have the ability to have multiple parent folders. theres some powerful team/subcontractor workflows and permissions with this set up. worth discussing with the team if its not on the radar already. they have the best model for that i've seen after a couple dozen tools. Fibery is a newcomer that seems to replicate that flexibility as well.

Great and must be done asap :)
