Today, ClickUp supports one level of subfolders inside a Folder. Teams with deep organizational structures (agencies managing client → project → workstream, enterprises mirroring department → division → team, construction companies tracking program → site → phase) are forced to either flatten their hierarchy into naming conventions or spin up extra Spaces as a workaround. We'd like the ability to nest subfolders at least 2–5 levels deep so workspaces can mirror real-world org structures without sacrificing a clean, navigable sidebar.

The sidebar used to show comments AND who created the task in the same view. Now this information is divided into two seperate pages, with 95% empy space on them. Almost always I want to see both who created the task, and what other have said about it. I sholdn't have to flip to Activity just to see who created the task. You already write "Created Oct 27", would be so easy to add the name of the creator there.

I’d like to suggest making the “New” section above the Inbox removable or customizable. Our team doesn’t use this feature, and having it permanently displayed above the Inbox creates unnecessary clutter and can be quite frustrating. It would be great to have the option to hide or remove it so teams can customize their workspace to better suit their workflows.

When attaching emails to a task, the fields from, to, cc, bcc and date does not show. This should be shown in order to provide necessary context. Also, the email itself should be attached as a ".msg" file (just like it does in Jira).

The problem: Personal Priorities (LineUp) works really well for individuals: I can add any number of tasks, drag them into order, and they renumber automatically, so it's always clear what comes first. But there's no equivalent for a list. When a whole team works from one list, we need one shared ranking that everyone can see. Current workarounds and why they fall short: Manual order in List view: you can drag tasks into order, but there are no visible rank numbers, the order only works without grouping, and it can be changed by accident from other views. A Number custom field ("Rank"): it shows numbers, but doesn't renumber when tasks move, so every change means updating many tasks by hand. The built-in Priority field: only four levels (Urgent/High/Normal/Low), so it can't express a strict order. What I'd like: A "List Priorities" feature (or a rank field type) for each list, working like Personal Priorities. Add as many tasks as needed, drag and drop to reorder, and ranks renumber automatically (1, 2, 3…). A visible rank column that can be shown and sorted in any view of the list. A shared order that's the same for everyone on the list, ideally independent of grouping (e.g. still visible in a view grouped by status). Optional: the rank is removed when a task is closed, and the rest move up. Why it matters: It would give teams one clear, shared answer to "what should we work on next?" without maintaining numbers by hand or relying on view settings that are easy to break. Thank you!

I would like to be able to have different columns - and therefore provide different information per subtask etc - to subtasks compared to parent tasks - which would have columns reflecting the status of a project overall. This is a feature monday.com has, which we are currently migrating from. Not having this is currently hindering our way of work and making it more messy than it needs to be.

This would be useful when there are a lot of custom fields in an item and by default you just want to select a few to show when you open the task/item view. See an example from notion

PROBLEM Search/filter is available in some sidebar sections but not all. Docs, Clips, Teams and AI have no inline search, so finding a specific doc, clip, team or AI chat means scrolling, opening the full page, or launching global search and filtering it down. In a large workspace that is slow and breaks flow. REQUEST Search in every sidebar section: a consistent search/filter field in Docs, Clips, Teams, AI, and every other section (Spaces, Chat, Favorites, and any future section). Same placement and behaviour everywhere, filtering as you type. One sidebar search across all sections: a single search box at the top of the sidebar that searches Docs, Clips, Teams, AI chats, Spaces/Lists and Chat at once, with results grouped by section and quick filter chips to narrow to one section. Keyboard-first: a shortcut to focus sidebar search, arrow keys + Enter to open a result, Esc to clear. Respect permissions and show recent items when the box is empty. WHY Consistency: users shouldn't have to learn which sections are searchable. Speed: a lightweight, in-context search beats opening the global search modal for quick navigation. Scale: the more docs, clips and AI chats a workspace accumulates, the less usable the sidebar becomes without search. This would make the sidebar a real navigation hub rather than a list you scroll through.

I suggest a layout that allows users to set the Spaces in alphabetically order

Hi ClickUp team, We use a custom SDLC workflow with several statuses in the "Active" group (e.g. In Progress → Code Review → Testing → Ready for Release). In List view, each task's status icon reflects how far along the workflow it is: the circle is partially filled depending on the status position, so you can see progress at a glance. However, the Subtasks sidebar in the task view shows the same generic icon for every active status. As a result, all subtasks look identical there, and it's impossible to tell which ones are just started and which are almost done without opening each one or switching to List view. Steps to reproduce: Open a task with nested subtasks that are in different active statuses. Compare the status icons in the Subtasks sidebar (left) and in the Subtasks list inside the task (right). Expected: the sidebar shows the same progress-style status icons as List view. Actual: the sidebar shows one identical icon for all active statuses (see the attached screenshot, highlighted in red). Why it matters: for epics with many milestones and subtasks, the sidebar is the main navigation panel. Seeing SDLC progress there would let us track an epic's state without switching views. Ideally this would be enabled by default, or at least available as a sidebar display option. Thanks!
