Toggle features by task type
Ivan Villa
Problem:
We handle various tasks in ClickUp, and sometimes there are unnecessary features for certain types. For instance, when tracking clients, a due date is not required. Similarly, for a list of records, a status workflow is unnecessary.
Ask:
- Give the ability to disable certain features/ClickApps by task types.

Option to disable either checklists or subtasks

Please add the possibility to disable either checklists or subtasks so that an organization can have a standardized way of handling todo items. I really like the approach of having Clickapps to toggle on or off features that fit the companies workflows.

This is a very important one to have. Please Clickup. Prioritize this one.

The ability to disable subtasks and checklists is critical. In my opinion, they're like custom fields—good to have but not always applicable for every organisation.
Here's my use case: I'm working with a very small team, and for us to work cohesively and ensure visibility of all tickets or actions, we need to manage them in a standardised way.
Assigning dependencies and looking at our workload becomes difficult when things are hidden in subtasks or checklists, which is unhelpful for our workflow.
There are times that things get overlooked because they are hidden within a checklist, and sometimes we don't know the progress about a specific item, leaving comments because it's just a checklist item. It's difficult to juggle and define for my team what should be categorised as a task and what should be there as a checklist, or when we should simply put a basic tick box item in the description field.
Subtasks in our case didn't really help either. Sometimes there are various subtasks with different dependencies and end dates. Without complex configuration, moving, shifting, or extending the due date of a subtask doesn't always affect the parent task's behaviour. So whenever we try to update certain items, we have to make multiple clicks to check if there are any parent tasks or subtasks within those specific items before we can actually make the update.
Today, my organisation does not use checklists and subtasks. It can't be a hardcoded control; it's only being communicated. Every time I see things being labelled as a checklist and subtasks, I'll have to change them or remind the team members to change them.
If we could make the subtasks or checklists function like a ClickApp that's only enabled when required, it would solve so many issues.

Ability to hide task description

Hide task description when not using it in order to show subtasks and checklist items at the top of task view [from a support ticket]

It would be great if we could disable subtasks and move this feature to a ClickApp instead
Paul Walsh
I totally agree. It is really off-putting for new user adoption - especially on mobile. They take up half the screen and have to be scrolled past each time to get to the custom fields

Task type non-completable

It would be great to have task types which do not have a status and cannot be closed. They serve as information.

Since we don't use subtasks, but "Task Links", Subtasks can be hidden.
I just hope for better performance when it's deactivated :)
We could show "Task Links" at this position instead tho...

I think it would make sense to make both a Clickupapp
