Custom Field Creation via API
p

When migrating data between ClickUp workspaces or spinning up new environments programmatically, there's currently no way to recreate custom fields via the API. While task data can be moved easily, critical components of workflow structure — like dropdowns and custom fields — must still be built manually in the UI.
That breaks automation workflows and creates friction for teams managing complex workspace interactions through the API.

API Support for Creating and Managing Custom Fields

Currently, the ClickUp API allows reading and assigning values to existing custom fields, but does not support creating or modifying custom fields themselves.
For example, I'm building a script to automate workspace migrations, and this gap in the API creates significant manual overhead.
