Feature Requests

I tried to submit this as a bug report (#2263846) but support is telling me nothing has changed recently and what I'm experiencing is the intended behaviour. Almost a week later, following back and forth emails, they're passing the case on to technical support... I'm hoping they give me a more acceptable answer. In the meantime, I'm posting here. When I change the due date to a later date for a recurring task, it's no longer creating the next instance on the original due date schedule, it's changing the recurrence schedule. So, my "first of the month" task that actually takes me about 4 days to complete, is now creating the next task with the due date of whenever I finish it, not the first of the next month. Until the last few weeks, I could change the date to 'tomorrow' on the original due date and next month's task would be created. This was also beneficial if I needed to change something on the next month's task that I notice while I'm still working through this month's. Each time I complete a recurring task, I'm having to check the next instance of it and manually set the due date. It was working fine before but now it's not. It's a nightmare.

Hello ClickUp Team, I love using ClickUp to manage my daily recurring tasks and track time, but I’m missing a crucial feature that would greatly improve productivity and time management. It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to set hard time limits on tasks (especially recurring ones) — for example, limiting a task to 30 minutes per day — and receive automatic alerts or reminders when the time spent approaches or exceeds that limit. This feature would help users maintain better focus and prevent spending too much time on any one task, improving overall efficiency. Thank you for considering this enhancement!

I'd love if I could bulk select a bunch of tasks, and give them all the same "recurring" rules. Right now I'm going through a ton of different tasks and having to do it one by one.

I'd like to be able to force a recurrence to occur prior to my original scheduled recurrence (e.g., when closed, on schedule, etc.). Sometimes I need to leave notes or comments for the next instance of a recurring task, but the only way I know to do so now is to temporarily close the existing task instance so the next instance populates and then reopen the task I closed. This leaves a lot of room for human error, so I'd much rather be able to click a "forced recurrence" button or something so the current task instance isn't closed and the status isn't changed.

The "Copy Everything" setting in the Recurs options does not include Dependencies. We have several weekly tasks that depend upon separate executive approval tasks as part of the process. It is useless to set recurrences if the dependencies do not copy over.

in other task management solutions, when you create a recurring task, it spawns all the iterations of that task (up to a certain point - which if you're worried about, you could make a setting) - so for example, if I have a daily task that takes 30 minutes, I should be able to create that task and have it show up in my task list - and ESPECIALLY show up in my task export - for at least the next 3 months, every day. It's currently impossible for us to do employee/time resourcing, since recurring tasks only show one instance. That daily 30 minute task should account for 10 hours of time for the month, but currently only counts for 30 minutes. and we can't look at daily workload, since some days look completely empty, but actually have 3-4 hours of recurring tasks. showing on the calendar view is not a sufficient solution to this problem. PLEASE let us see all iterations of a recurring task. Once it's created, all iterations are created, and then can be edited either in bulk or individually. This is an absolute necessity!

I am disappointed I cannot see scheduled future recurring tasks in lists or dashboards until the due date. I wish there was a feature that would allow you to see the next recurring task after completion of the original one; while also having them pile up if you never complete them. I own a bookkeeping company and almost all of my tasks are recurring. I like to see what's coming ahead of time in my dashboard with lists. Unfortunately with scheduled recurring tasks, you cannot see the recurring task until the date it is due, this makes it hard for me to schedule things and know what is coming let's say in the next week - which is half the reason I got ClickUp. Same thing when viewing a List inside of a Folder - you cannot see any future recurring tasks on the List view, only in Calendar view. The calendar view does not give me a good view of the task details like I can on the dashboard, as it doesn't show the client's name, priority level, etc. - only the label of the task itself, and many tasks are the same, eg. "run payroll". This is why lists are better for me on the dashboard and in the Clients List view. Unfortunately because of this, I'm not going to be using recurring tasks. I will manually change the due date every time I complete a task, rather than marking it complete. I need to be able to see what's coming next. SOLUTION: When creating a recurring task, give the option to "show next future recurring task after completion" - on lists and everywhere, not just the calendar.

I love the recurring feature but for me personally it's missing the ability to move a single task in the calendar without it effecting everything else. Currently, if my plans change for a certain day and I want to reschedule a recurring task due on it, I'd have to create the task again and thus clutter my calendar. Because I don't want to change my entire future schedule by moving this one task to a later time. Just a feature to choose wether or not to apply it to all (upcoming/everything) or the single task would help a great deal. Then it would be perfect for setting up a schedule. Have a nice day and keep up the great work! :)

You should have a setting to auto adopt parent fields when subtasks are created. With many subtasks this makes it a lot of manual process to add the field content every time you create a subtask.

I would love for our template to be setup with automations and recurring tasks, but not start until the list is active - so a template is truly a template and not an active list/task.
