Grouping Custom Fields in custom categories. It should show up neatly on each task

We have a dropdown custom field that we use to assign our partners to the task and to show who owns it. Every so often, these partners leave their company, so we need to remove their names from the dropdown. I want to hide their names instead, rather than delete or rename the option, so it doesn't alter old tasks.

Forcing colors on drop-down choices is too much. It creates an eye sore if you're using a lot of choices and can create visual chaos. We have been using icons with our text to make it a visually appealing, quick read view. I don't know when this change went into effect to where it forces colors, but it's horrible. It's preventing me from wanting to create any new custom drop-downs, and our users use dark or light dependent on their personal preference, so I really prefer to have the option for no color. Also, how do all these colors impact individuals with color blindness? I just think this is such a bad design to not offer no color as an option. 😕

We use a lot of different custom fields. For the label and dropdown custom fields you determine the selection options upfront. Each selection option is, by default, given a color. I used to be able to set the color to 'blanco', which means that no colors are shown for these custome field values. This keeps my view clean. Now I am forced to pick an actual color which clutters my views. I would like to get the 'blanco' option back. My ideal situation would even be to have 'blanco' as the default color, but I can image this is not the general opinion.

On the custom fields drop-down, "No Colour" was always available; with the update it is no longer available, please put back that selection.

Ability to show/hide custom fields based on the value of other custom fields. A simple option to "Show if" condition when creating new custom fields.

It seems like with the 4.0 update, the option to have "no color" for custom field dropdown options is gone. This update disrupts our currently existing lists that do not use colors. Now, new options have colors while others do not. It is time consuming to go through the list and add colors to every option. ClickUp is at its best when it is customizable - please add this setting back into the system!

Click up automatically assigns colours a drop down options. I appreciate we can change the colours manually but we need to be able to bulk change a certain number of drop options to a matching colour to help with visual categorisation.

"Who completed that task?" - This should be already in place, it's a basic piece of info. A field that shows the person who set the task status to a "Done" (without AI!) I sometimes have multiple persons assigned to a task. it could be any one of them that completes it, or they may rotate who completes it. I need to see the person who completed the latest occurrence of that task.

We’re currently testing the Custom Fields by Task Type beta and really like the concept. However, we’ve run into an important limitation that strongly impacts day-to-day usability and reporting: At the moment, Custom Fields created per Task Type do not appear in List or Board views, nor can they be enabled as columns or shown on board cards — unlike standard workspace custom fields. This creates a gap between: Contextual work inside the task (where Task Type fields work very well), and Overview and management views (List / Board), where those same fields are often essential. Why this matters: In real-world setups, especially in multidisciplinary teams (design, development, QA, training, meetings), Task Types are ideal for defining which fields matter — but teams still need: To see key Task Type fields at a glance in List or Board views To use them for filtering, grouping, and prioritization To avoid duplicating critical fields as global custom fields just for visibility It would be extremely valuable to allow: Task Type Custom Fields to be enabled as columns in List view Task Type Custom Fields to be shown on Board cards (Ideally) Task Type Custom Fields to be available in filters and views, scoped to tasks of that type This would fully unlock the potential of Task Types as structured, context-aware task models — without sacrificing visibility or reporting.
