The ability to restrict the number of tasks that can be allocated to a day. My biggest flaw of using Clickup is that I have more tasks, than feasible to achieve. I spend more time managing my to-do list (rescheduling overdue), rather than getting it down. For example: Realistically I can only achieve X amount of tasks in a day. It would be useful if any further tasks were restricted from being added to that day and highlighted/or bumped to the next available opportunity. Providing the opportunity to opt into more work, rather than be overwhelmed by it.

A new way to add dependencies via a handle on each task that you click and drag to the dependency. There should be a visual animation like a string connecting the two. A prompt after you connect them asks if it should be waiting on or blocking. Clicking on the handle without dragging would activate the current search feature via text. The goal is to have a quicker way to create dependencies when connecting tasks in the same list.

I would like to be able to set a subtask as a hard deadline which can only be moved by a set person. Also, i would like this to confine the slack on the gant charts to this point. Ideally i could reschedule dependant tasks before this item, without impacting its date. and be warned when the current scheduling runs past this date.

We are working on projects with start and end dates that contain many tasks depended on each other, sometimes during the project we understand that some tasks are not necessary. Would be amazing if when we delete them the rest of the tasks would catch up on the remaining tasks that they are depended on and we could see clearer the planned end date of the project.

The actual names are: "waiting on dependency" and "blocking dependency" In english or in french (my native language), it's really not understandable. Can you do simple as JIRA for example : "block" and "is blocked by" ?

Hello, In using ClickUp, we've encountered a need for a high-level resource planning tool that allows us to assign developers to projects with the flexibility to make rapid changes. Our structure is as follows: Dates (Calendar) Developer 1 Project 1 Developer 2 Project 2 Developer 3 Project 2 Developer X Project X Main Requirements: View developer assignments to projects in a calendar format. Quickly move developers between projects and update assignments efficiently. Easily set up and adjust long-term plans across dozens of projects and a team of more than 30 members. Currently, Google Sheets offers more speed and flexibility for these needs, but we would prefer to perform this planning directly in ClickUp. It would be very useful to have a template or feature to support this structure, enabling high-level planning with quick, real-time adjustments similar to Google Sheets. Possible Solutions: Ability to group by developer and project in Calendar or Workload views. Quick-copy and drag-and-drop options to transfer tasks while retaining developer assignments. Additional filtering and sorting options for high-level resource distribution. Thank you for your consideration! We hope to see this functionality added to ClickUp so we can rely on it for long-term project and resource planning.

There should be an option for 'Use subtasks dates' to be constantly on for a selected parent task. At the moment 'Use subtask dates' clears on every reload of the page, which leads to scheduling errors when a parent task has dependencies down stream.

The ability to connect related tasks, especially those with dependencies, is of paramount importance when it comes to managing tasks effectively. Understanding the relationships between tasks and knowing when certain tasks are blocked or unblocked is crucial for maintaining a smooth workflow and ensuring that projects progress as planned. However, in the current setup, once I have a list of tasks to search and link, identifying their dependency relationships becomes a complex and often frustrating task. The process of finding and linking related tasks could be greatly improved with enhanced task search options. For instance, having the ability to filter tasks based on specific criteria would be incredibly helpful. Imagine being able to narrow down your search to tasks within a particular list or folder. This would not only make the task-finding process much faster but also significantly easier, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient workflow. Such improvements would empower users to manage their tasks with greater precision and confidence. By being able to quickly locate and link related tasks, especially those with dependencies, users can ensure that their projects remain on track and that any potential bottlenecks are addressed promptly. Overall, improved task search capabilities would be a valuable enhancement, making the task management process more intuitive and effective for everyone involved.

Although the csv download contains a column with the dependency task id, it does not contain a column indicating whether the dependency is "Blocker" or "Waiting on" type.

This feature will significantly help plan and pre-assign tasks to team members ahead of schedule. Let's say we have two dependent tasks, task A, and task B. We want to be able to set both task A and B to have a duration (difference of start and end date) of about a week. Now, task B is dependent on (waiting on) task A to be completed. However, task A can get delayed. When I shift the due date of task A, we want it to automatically move the start date and due date of task B such that task B's start date is after the due date of task A, and the end date of task B stays a week after its start date. Currently, I can multiple tasks using CTRL + click then move their dates together, however, when this chain of dependencies become longer, this becomes a huge hassle especially with larger teams. I would love to see this feature be added to clickup to boost managerial productivity instead of keeping tasks hard to schedule among our developer resources.
