Feature Requests

FEATURE REQUEST SUMMARY We are requesting a warning or confirmation prompt when a task or subtask is re-nested under a different parent in a way that automatically changes its home list. CURRENT BEHAVIOR When a task or subtask exists in multiple lists and is re-nested under a different parent task in a secondary list, ClickUp silently removes it from its original home list with no warning, confirmation dialog, or undo notification. Specifically: • Tasks: Re-nesting a task under a new parent in List B automatically removes it from List A (its home list) and reassigns List B as the new home list — without any user prompt. • Subtasks: The same behavior occurs for subtasks. Re-nesting under a new parent in List B removes the subtask from its original home list in List A. In both cases, the task or subtask is not deleted, but because there is no notification of the home list change, users believe the task has disappeared. USER IMPACT This behavior has caused significant confusion among our users, who interpret the silent home list change as tasks being lost or deleted. This erodes trust in the platform and creates unnecessary troubleshooting overhead for our team. REQUESTED BEHAVIOR We would like ClickUp to introduce a confirmation prompt or warning notification when a re-nesting action is about to change a task's home list. Ideally, this would look something like: "Nesting this task under a new parent will change its home list from [List A] to [List B]. This will remove it from [List A]. Do you want to continue?" This small change would: Prevent accidental and unintended home list changes. Give users a clear opportunity to confirm or cancel the action. Improve transparency around how multi-list task management works. Reduce user confusion and support escalations related to "missing" tasks. We hope this is a relatively low-lift UX improvement that would have a meaningful impact on user experience, particularly for teams managing tasks across multiple lists. We hope this can be considered for a future update.

Hello, I have created a list for myself in which I have many subtasks. My subtasks have 10 fields across the top. As of 5/6/26 you have to scroll vertically to the bottom of the page to access the horizontal scroll bar & use it to scroll in order for me to view all of the fields. Even if I have the subtask in full screen, I still can't view all of my info. If you could please install a scroll bar at the top of the subtask box or allow the full screen to enable viewing of all of my fields this would be a huge improvement.

I can update the owner of spaces, but not lists. If I create a list, I'm set as the owner of the list but don't have the ability to reassign ownership of the list.

I want to drag and drop to reorder my multiple checklists but I find it absolutely a hassle that I have to do it tediously by clicking on "move up" multiple times. This little feature would help a lot with efficiency. If possible, add a "alphabetical" feature for the entire list of checklist. Be well developers and thank you so much.

Unless I'm mistaken, ClickUp’s Board view currently only allows tasks to be ordered manually within columns or by a limited set of sorting options. There appears to be no way to automatically order tasks based on important workflow events such as Date Closed, Date Status Updated, or other system/custom fields. This creates problems for workflows where the sequence of completed or recently updated tasks matters, particularly when reviewing work that has moved into a “Done” or “Completed” status. At the moment, tasks appear in an arbitrary order, which makes it difficult to quickly understand what was completed most recently. *** Requested functionality Allow Board view columns to be sorted automatically by: Date Closed Date Status Updated / Status Changed Date Created Date Updated Custom fields (including date fields) This sorting should work within each column, similar to how List view allows sorting by multiple criteria. *** Why this matters Many teams use Board view to track workflow stages. When tasks reach a “Done” column, users often want to see: The most recently completed tasks first Tasks ordered by completion date Tasks ordered by a custom workflow field Without this capability, Board view becomes far less useful for reviewing completed work or understanding recent activity. *** Example use case A team moves tasks through a workflow until they reach Done. They want the Done column to automatically show tasks ordered by Date Closed (newest first) so they can immediately see the latest completed work without manually searching or switching to another view. *** Summary Add the ability to sort tasks within Board view columns by system fields and custom fields, including Date Closed and Date Status Updated. This would make Board view far more useful for reviewing progress, activity, and recently completed tasks.

I would like to have the option of order the checklist with the newest list on top. Currently using checklists for small action items, but each checklist is dated and titled with what meeting it came from. I want the newest lists to be on top to avoid scrolling for relevant information. Rearranging is cumbersome and allows for human error.

The issue is with the bulk selection of tasks and sub-tasks. In addition, to the copy and pasting of tasks/sub.. a simple ctrl+c then a ctrl+v as any other application would be much better as a user exp. The duplication and the moving of tasks/sub.. is a nightmare!!

It would be great to be able to add Sections to Lists. This could also be thought of as grouping certain tasks within lists. Sometimes you want tasks to be in one list, but also be able to group them/put them in to sections, so you can better chunk them. For example, I make films, and I would like a list for a film to be able to be grouped in to "Development", "Pre-Production", "Production", "Post Production", "Release". It isn't suitable in this instance for me to make each film have its own project and then make individual lists, because I group film types as projects. For instance, I have a Project "Short Films", then each short film is a list. It would not work having a Project for each film, as the project list would be huge. This is something that can be done in Asana, and is very useful.

Have the ability to have one list shared in multiple spaces. The same concept as shared tasks, but for the entire list.

When grouped by Due Date in list view, please provide additional level of grouping for Future dates by month and then by years. Currently level of grouping shows up: Today Tomorrow Saturday Sunday Monday Future Would like to see this changed to indicate: Today Tomorrow Saturday Sunday Monday January February March April May June July August September October November _ December 2021 2022 2023 etc
