Subtask Visibility and Grouping Enhancement in Table View

#clickup

Many ClickUp users express frustrations with the current table view, where subtasks appear detached from their respective parent tasks. This layout diminishes the ease and effectiveness of providing a hierarchical perspective essential for efficient task management. Users often rely on table views for quick data appraisal and manipulation, and the lack of connection between subtasks and parent tasks leads to confusion and inefficiency, making the table view inadequate for a clear overview of tasks and their relationships. The ability to visually align subtasks directly under their parent tasks with expand/collapse functionality is highly sought after, contributing to a more organized and navigable interface. Additionally, features like coherent grouping and easy reference to parent tasks are important to improve user experience and data analysis capabilities in ClickUp's table view.
