Display Task Descriptions in List and Table Views

#clickup

ClickUp users frequently express the need for an easier way to access task descriptions directly within the List and Table Views without the need to click into each individual task. This change aims to improve the user experience by aiding in quick access to task details at a glance, reducing the necessity of navigating away from the main view, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming. This is particularly critical when managing large projects with many tasks, where quick updates and overview are paramount for efficient workflow.

🗒️ Feature Requests

  • Hover to Preview Description:
    Implement a hover feature where users can move their cursor over a task and a tooltip-style popup displays the associated description briefly.
  • Integration without Redundancy:
    Ensure this functionality integrates seamlessly with existing ClickUp features to avoid redundancy, such as not requiring a separate field for descriptions already entered elsewhere.
  • View Description in List Column:
    Allow users to see task descriptions directly in a column within the List view. The descriptions should show initially as a snippet, with an option to expand in place or via a popup for full visibility.
  • Dynamic Description Preview Length:
    Introduce settings to customize the length of the description preview in the List and Table Views, allowing users to see more or less content based on their preference.
  • Configurable Description Visibility:
    Provide an option for users to toggle the visibility of task descriptions in List and Table Views to accommodate users who prefer a cleaner interface versus those who need more immediate access to task details.
