We use numerous custom fields but cannot set their values via API. Can't set custom value when creating a task to updating a task via API

I have frequently seen requests for assistance with using the API to add new Custom Field values, especially to the Dropdown Custom Field.
Philipp Berner
The create Task endpoint (https://developer.clickup.com/reference/createtask) now offers the ability to add an array of custom fields via
custom_fields
For setting custom field values on existing task I still need to refer to https://developer.clickup.com/reference/setcustomfieldvalue which allows to only update one custom field at the time.
We have plans to improve this in the future

Philipp Berner I had interpreted this post to be aimed at the desire to create options on a custom field via API. Example a dropdown custom field "Release version"
Via API when a new version is beginning to be worked on, we would like to automatically push a new dropdown option "2.8" to that list of options on "Release version" custom field.

Philipp Berner any suggestion on the timeframe? e.g. 6 months? 12 months etc.

Wish all of them could be gathered here :) Could you please refer those places Peter Bishop so that we can make this request happen?

Esto está desde el 2020!!!! Desde ese tiempo no es soportada una funcionalidad que obviamente es necesaria... poder actualizar via API los custom fields tal cómo se actualiza cualquier otro campo desde la API de tareas... sería genial que esto lo puedan meter al backlog en algún momento.

This is from 2020!!!! Since that time, a functionality that is obviously necessary is not supported... being able to update the custom fields via API just as any other field is updated from the tasks API... it would be great if this could be added to the backlog at some point

Gustavo Gutierrez But its already possible no?

+1 This is natively supported in Make.com (good), but not via direct API, which makes no sense. There should be a PUT/UPDATE task that allows updates to all fields, including custom fields, with just one API call. The same goes for updating (adding/removing) tags. Since a task has tags (and not the other way round), why can't we add/remove multiple tags simultaneously with one API call (ideally within the PUT/UPDATE)?

Definitely a pain point! Addressing this sooner rather than later will reduce the chatter between platforms. Making 12 separate calls right now, which isn't optimal.

Hi any news on this?

We need the ability to update multiple custom fields in one call for dynamic list and task ID input.

Update custom_fields in a bunch
Claudio Johansen
When creating a task, multiple custom_fields can be passed in the payload (perfect!). When updating a task, there is no way to update them all at once. It's anoying and slow to update each single custom_field as described here: https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/SetCustomFieldValue/
