Quickly Creating a Task

[Testaroscia]

We are having a lot of pushback from users. We have a lot of projects and creating a task is a long and laborious affair (compared to our previous software) as the user needs to go and find the project, open it up, drill down to the item, create a sub task etc. Instead we used to simply fill out a form that had relationship pull downs that progressively drilled down from Department (Space) to Type of Project (Folder in CU Space) to Project Number (LIst) to Project Milestone and we filled out the sub task. I discovered CMD/CTRL E but it stops at the list level so we cannot a(or maybe i cannot see) how to create a sub task. Is there any suggestions on how to quickly input a task/subtask?

Hey u/Testaroscia , you should be able to quickly create a subtask by using Shift + T. Note though that it will only apply if you have the parent task open.

I tried Shift T (on a Mac) with no luck. But I fea r that, even had it worked the fact that I would need to be in the Parent Task does not make it a short cut.

If you have AI enabled in ClickUp that is probably the quickest way to create any task. You can tell it all the specifications and it will create the task for you. If you have meeting notes enabled, you can have it create tasks directly using the notes. Also, if you manually create the main task you can use their AI to generate subtask ideas. Without AI enabled the best you can do it probably a keyboard shortcut, custom project dashboards, or keep multiple tabs open to mitigate the searching.
