Currently the Gannt, Timeline, and Workload Views default to only working with task and subtask due dates. If you could have the option to replace the due date field with other custom date fields, you'd be able to vastly expand the use cases of these views. Our projects and tasks across all spaces use various custom date fields that allow for more accurate tracking instead of simply "due date". However, if you actually use these custom date fields to build out your clickup infrastructure than most of Clickup's features cease to work properly, as they all function from the core due date field. Please allow us the option to have the gannt chart or timeline place our tasks by any custom date field rather than just the stock "due date field".

BACKGROUND The unscheduled tasks backlog appears in three planning surfaces: the Calendar view sidebar, the Timeline right bar, and the Workload sidebar. It is effectively the same panel, but today it behaves as a dumb flat list in all three. PAIN Planners with real backlogs cannot work out of it. There are no fields on the rows, no independent filtering, no sort, no grouping, and nothing is remembered between sessions. "It is overwhelming and unproductive to see every single unsorted task I have ever made in that list." WORKAROUND People leave the planner, go to a List view to find the task they want, then come back and scroll for it. Or they change the view filters, which also changes what they see on the calendar/grid itself. REQUEST Show fields on backlog rows, including Time Estimate. Sort by any field. Filter the backlog independently of the view's own filters. Richer filters, including hiding closed tasks in the backlog while keeping them on the grid. Save filter + sort combos as presets. Group with collapsible headers. Location picker up to Space level, not just List. Nest subtasks under their parent. Indicate tasks that are already scheduled. This is one panel used in three places, so it should behave the same in all three.

When we're trying to make views that are specific and useful for a particular group of users (in the example artists) we can't use our project, which is a big template created in chronological order of the tasks that need to be completed to, display subtasks when they are displayed as "expanded". The only way to make them appear is to display subtasks as separate tasks, but that completely breaks our project view and makes it much less interesting for the project manager and the users. In the images below you can see our set up with two of the tasks displaying all of their subtasks in the "expanded" display mode. Then you can see what happens when I apply a filter, they all disappear. In the third image you can see the same view with the Subtasks displayed as separate tasks, but it's less useful as you no longer see the hierarchy of the tasks.

Ideally it would be very helpful & more productive to have the ability to see 'Description' for any item in the 'List View'. Technically this can be done by adding a 'new long text' field as well, however that would mean we are duplicating the text/content, as the Description for the task/item is already written in the Description Column. So please, consider the feature of displayed 'Description' field info in a Column under list-view.

It would be super helpful for our team if we could sort all tasks across all projects by "status" and have them appear in the order our of our status-flow. It's currently possible to sort by status in list view, but instead of sorting in order of your status pipeline (as they would be in board view, or everywhere else), the list is confusingly sorted alphabetically by names of statuses. This means that if your workflow order is INFO > BACKLOG > SPRING PLANNING > CURRENT SPRINT > QR sorting them by status in list view will display them out of order, like this: BACKLOG > CURRENT SPRINT > INFO > QR > SPRINT PLANNING

I use Gantt view to project manage using ADDIE methodology (Analyse, Design Develop, Implement and Evaluate. So this gives me 5 over arching Tasks (stages). Under Analyse may be 7 different subtasks each having several additional subtasks. Think 1 > 1.7 >1.7.3 It makes sense to build the project plan directly into ClickUp as opposed to finalising the whole design before building in ClickUp, projects are always fluid. But there is high frustration with it not easily being able to re-order subtasks within a task once built. Lets Say under "Develop" I have 10 Subtasks, then realise that I need to change the order of subtasks 5,6&7. In Gantt view when I pick it up to move it instead of sub task 5 going to subtask 7 and them reordering it actually put subtask 5 as a subtask of subtask 7. - i.e. 2 > 2.5 was meant to become 2 > 2.7 instead it ended up 2 > 2.7.1 The only work around is to open up the parent task and then re-arrange sub tasks within the task "card" then go back to Gantt view. Visually you then have to remember what you wanted to do as you no longer have full Gantt view. It is just a bit clunky.

I want to make a minutes of meeting (MOM) template based on List with tasks (The list is the main topic of the MOM) Tasks with sub-tasks (tasks are the Tasks Heading in each cell row) sub-tasks Task descriptions as status updates with date stamps (Is the date stamped lines in the Task Descriptions). Brain2 description from my disucssion: I'd like the ability to display task descriptions as visible, editable content directly in List or Table view, rather than only accessible via hover icon or the task detail pane. Use case: I manage meetings using ClickUp's task hierarchy: a List represents the meeting topic, tasks are agenda headings, and subtask descriptions contain date-stamped status updates. This structure is essentially a living Minutes of Meeting (MOM) document. Today, there's no way to see and edit all those descriptions inline without clicking into each task individually. The biggest problem is an editable "Description"column option in List/Table view that renders the full task description as readable, editable rich text in the row Ideally with adjustable column width so descriptions can be wide enough to read comfortably Combined with the ability to hide all metadata columns (status, dates, assignees), this would create a clean document-like view built entirely from task data Current workaround: Using a stripped-down List view with no metadata columns and the task detail pane open on the right. This works but only shows one description at a time and requires clicking through each task.

Good morning, I would like to have the opportunity to be able to view the sub-activities with a state other than the motherboard. Example: as shown in the photo, the motherboard must remain in the “to do” state, while the sub-activity I would like to have the opportunity to view it in the “production” state, I do not want to use the separate view or even the list, since I have too many sub-tasks and I would not be able to view everything correctly.

I want to be able to use forms internally without a public link. Even if I don't publicize the public link it is still a security issue.

We need the ability to create filter views using combinations of AND, OR and NOT, that act on not only task name text, but also spaces, lists, folders, labels, etc. For example, each department (space) might have its own ideas or submissions section (list or folder). Those who plan dev priority would like to see a list view of just certain lists or folders across their org. Or any custom selection, for that matter. Implying that the filter should allow for a simple "hide this item" in the view.
