Guest Client role: a native client field — filterable and groupable like Assignee — with automatic scoped access
Many teams — agencies, system integrators, consultancies — work on behalf of external clients. Today, there is no native concept of "client" in ClickUp. Giving a client visibility into their own tasks requires manually creating dedicated lists or spaces, configuring permissions per project, and maintaining that setup over time. Grouping or filtering work by client across the workspace is simply not possible natively. The proposal Introduce a new user type alongside the existing Guest: the Guest Client. The workflow would be simple: Invite an external user by company email and define them as Guest Client Associate that Guest Client to any task using a native field — similar to Assignee — selectable, filterable, and groupable across all views and dashboards When the Guest Client logs in, they automatically see only the tasks where they are associated — no manual filtering, no dedicated spaces, no permission configuration required Why this matters This is not a CRM request. It is a minimal extension of what already exists — the Guest user type — with a semantic distinction and a native field behavior. The infrastructure is already there; what is missing is a role that maps to a real-world actor (the external client) and that ClickUp can use as a first-class axis for filtering, grouping, and access scoping. Without this, teams working for multiple clients are forced into workarounds: dropdown fields with hard 500-option limits, duplicated list structures, or manual permission management that breaks at scale. None of these solutions allow answering the simple question: "Show me everything we are doing for Client X." Expected outcome A Guest Client user type that: (1) can be assigned to tasks as a native field, filterable and groupable exactly like Assignee across views, dashboards, and reports; and (2) whose login experience is automatically scoped to their relevant work — turning ClickUp into a native client collaboration layer without adding complexity for the internal team.

Assign Hourly Rates to Team Members and Calculate Task Cost Based on Time Tracked or Logged Hours
Hi ClickUp Team, I'd love to request a feature that would be incredibly helpful for cost tracking and project budgeting within ClickUp. 🎯 The Problem: Currently, there's no built-in way to associate an hourly rate with individual team members and then automatically calculate task costs based on time tracked or manually logged hours. This gap creates friction when trying to manage budgets and track actual costs in real-time across tasks and projects. 💡 Proposed Solution: Hourly Rate Field per User: Add a new field where Workspace admins can assign an hourly rate to each team member. This can be either a global setting or project-specific override. Cost Calculation Functionality: Enable an automatic cost computation based on the hourly rate and time tracked (via ClickUp’s time tracking feature). Alternatively, allow this cost to also be computed when someone manually enters the number of hours in a field (e.g., a custom "Time Spent" field). Dynamic Cost Field: Introduce a new computed custom field called “Cost” (or allow a formula field) that multiplies the user’s hourly rate by their tracked or entered time. This field should update automatically based on changes to time or rate. 📊 Use Case Example: Jane has an hourly rate of $50. She logs 3 hours on Task A using the time tracker. The system automatically records a cost of $150 for that task. If she instead enters “3” into a “Manual Hours” field, the same cost gets computed dynamically. ✅ Benefits: Helps teams stay on top of project budgets. Useful for internal cost tracking, client billing, and reporting. Reduces the need for external spreadsheets or manual calculations. This would be a game-changer for project-based businesses, agencies, and consulting teams using ClickUp. Looking forward to your consideration! Best, Tarif
