Feature Requests

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.

Currently, replies in threads (both in channels and direct messages) are only visible in the “Replies” section and do not consistently affect chat visibility or unread indicators in the main “Chat” list. This creates a fragmented and confusing experience when trying to follow ongoing conversations. Key issues: Chat ordering When I receive a reply in a thread within a channel, the channel does not move to the top of the Chat list. Chats are only surfaced when someone starts a new top-level message or sends a new DM. As a result, active discussions happening inside threads are easy to miss unless the user actively checks the Replies tab. Missing unread indicators for thread replies (channels & DMs) Replies added to existing threads do not trigger any unread indicator (badge/counter) on the corresponding channel or direct message in Chat list. The red dot appears only for new top-level messages, not for thread replies. This makes it unclear where new activity has occurred and causes important replies to be overlooked. Also, as a result, active discussions happening inside threads are easy to miss unless the user actively checks the Replies tab. Requested improvement: Thread replies should be treated as first-class chat activity: Channels and DMs should move to the top of the Chat list when a followed thread receives a new reply. Channels and DMs should display an unread indicator (badge/counter) when there is new activity inside a thread. Notification and visibility behavior for thread replies should be consistent across channels and direct messages. This would significantly improve conversation tracking, reduce missed replies, and make the Chat experience more intuitive, especially for teams that rely on threads for async communication.

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.

When working with subtasks, the name of the parent task does not appear in the timesheet. It would be helpful to have it either in the task name (e.g. subtask [parent task]) or in the Location (e.g. Space/List/Parent task). Alternatively, group the subtasks by task and always display the parent task even if no time was reported in the parent task. Task 1 > Subtask 1 > ... Task 2 > Subtask 2 >...

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! 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!

The Gantt view doesn't take the aggregated time estimation of the subtasks. I'd like to work on a clean representation, hidding subtasks (but even wuthout doing that), dragging my 1000H taks just put it in 1day slot. I'd hope the full perdiod can be represented, from the starting date I'm putting and consedering the estimation time, the expected day the task will end.

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
