Feature Requests

Hi ClickUp Team, Our team relies heavily on the Planner for capacity management, and we frequently add tasks to our calendars to visualize workload. However, we’ve run into a significant issue: tasks added through the Planner automatically appear as “Busy” on our Outlook calendars, and there’s currently no way to change that status in ClickUp. We can manually do this in Outlook, but it's incredibly inefficient, defeating the purpose of the Planner tool. Because of this limitation, these tasks are blocking our availability in Calendly (our meeting booking system) and showing our team as completely unavailable—even when many of these tasks are low-priority and flexible. While some tasks should hold Busy time, the majority need to be marked as Free so client meetings can take precedence. Feature Request: Please add the ability to set the “Free/Busy” status for tasks created via the Planner IN ClickUp. Why this matters: Our calendars appear unavailable to clients and partners due to Planner tasks auto-blocking time. This creates scheduling conflicts in Calendly and Outlook. We cannot manually change the status in Planner because the field is grayed out. The Planner is designed for capacity planning, so the ability to distinguish between Busy and Free time is essential.**** We would greatly appreciate this enhancement—it would make Planner fully usable for teams that manage capacity and scheduling side-by-side. Thank you for considering this improvement!

Hello! I'm a system administrator for a company with 120 employees, and I'm hoping to make a feature request. I would really appreciate it if we could have more control over custom permissions for each individual, and the ability to create permissions based on more options. Specifically, I'd like to set permissions for things like creating or copying a list, moving tasks to certain statuses, and restricting access to creating or updating labels. Basically, I want complete control over what each person can create or edit. For example, I'd like to restrict certain people from editing specific custom fields. Currently, the role system is limited, and some members have the same permissions as others, which isn't ideal. Many of my supervisors are members, but I don't want them all to have access to everything. While there are different roles we can create, the options for setting permissions are very limited. It would be great if we could have more flexibility in creating custom permissions for each individual.

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.

Hi, great feature can be ability to export/backup with schedule all clickup data on external server (scp, gdrive, amazon etc.) How You see that?

Hello! Can I use formula fields too in my Dashboard, in such widgets like Bar chart, etc? Now I only can use money fields, but would really appreciate adding Formula fields too!

It seems that the opportunity to undo the previous action is only available briefly, while the "undo" pop-up is visible. It would be helpful to be able to undo previous actions using some on-screen button. Users may also be accustomed to using Ctrl + Z to undo previous actions.

At the moment, in the Planner/Calendar view, there’s no way to sort tasks in my To-Do list. Currently, all tasks appear mixed together, so I can only use the infinite search or filter by a specific task list — which isn’t ideal when managing multiple clients. Having the option to sort tasks by due date would already be a huge improvement, as it would make it much easier to plan when I’m working on each task in the calendar.

We need a true Template Manager in ClickUp — a centralized place to create, edit, and manage task, list, and folder templates without having to download them as live items first. Currently, making any update to a template requires creating a real task/list/folder, which triggers unwanted notifications to assignees and creates unnecessary clutter. This also increases the risk of accidental changes and slows down teams who rely heavily on templates. A dedicated Template Manager (similar to the Custom Fields Manager) would allow users to open and edit templates directly, update assignees safely, and maintain consistent, up-to-date processes across the workspace. This would significantly improve efficiency and template accuracy for many ClickUp users.

Manage all your tags from a single menu. > It would be helpful if there was a list somewhere (on the side bar perhaps?) of all tags and perhaps a count, it would be based on whatever you have selected (i.e. if you are in a project, it should list the tags which are in that project, same for space, and so on). > Merge tags
