Read ("Get"?) Custom Field Value
not on the roadmap

Given a Task ID and a Custom Field ID I can't see a way to read the current value stored in the Custom Field? I can POST a value, but not read it? I _must_ be missing something this is pretty fundamental.

Get Custom Field via API

From support: it would be nice if you could Get the custom field value for a specific task. Exactly like "Set Custom Field Value" but for read (Get) not write(Set).
Philipp Berner
The GET Task endpoint https://developer.clickup.com/reference/gettask currently provides the list of custom fields in
custom_fields
array.We don't have the ability to ONLY return custom fields right now.

we also facing this issue, Will you make it ASAP, bcos we have more than 20M of size in custom fields in each task/subtask. which makes us less productive.

This would be a great feature to get just the custom field object rather than the full payload. This would make it faster when getting lots of tasks, easier to traverse with JS and also make it more secure.

Can you currently set a custom field value via API? If so, why can't zapier do it too?

Doesn't GetTask(s) return custom field values for a task/list?
Carlo Vassallo
Michael Chapman: unfortunately it doesn’t, it returns just the information about the custom field but not the value

Carlo Vassallo:
Maybe that's the way it was in Feb.? I can't say, but it definitely returns the values in the task right now. One thing to note though is that there is no value field if the field was not entered into. For example, a custom text field with no entry will have not value field, but if you enter "foo" into the text field, there will not be a value field in the JSON.
