ClickUp Lacks Portfolio-Level Custom Fields and Status Reports
ClickUp users managing multiple projects need portfolio-level tracking with custom fields and status rollup reports, which the platform does not support adequately. Organizations with cross-project dependencies cannot get consolidated visibility without manual aggregation. This gap forces larger teams to use external reporting tools alongside ClickUp.
