MIGRATION GUIDE

Want something simpler than ClickUp? Keep your tasks

Export your tasks from ClickUp as a CSV file and import them into Subtask. Statuses, assignees, tags, checklists, comments and subtask links come along; custom fields can be kept in the description.

Export your tasks from ClickUp

  1. A single list: open the list in List view, click ⋯ and choose Export view as CSV. Only the columns visible in the view are exported, so show the ones you want to keep (assignees, due date, tags, priority…) first, and keep the Task ID or Task URL column so tasks are recognised if you import again.
  2. The whole workspace: use Settings → Import/Export and export as CSV. This file contains every standard field, including checklists and comments.
  3. Subtask recognises both files and matches their columns automatically.

Then import the file into Subtask

  1. Create your free account and a workspace, or open an existing workspace.
  2. Click the ⋮ menu next to the workspace title and choose Import issues. You need to be a manager of the workspace.
  3. Choose the source and upload the file. Columns are matched automatically; you can change any of them.
  4. Map the statuses, see which people were matched, check the preview, then start the import. It runs in the background, and at the end you see what was created and what was skipped, and why.

What comes over

Upload again without creating duplicates

Every imported issue keeps its original key (Jira issue key, Trello card ID or ClickUp task ID). If you upload the same file again, or a newer export of the same project, issues already in the workspace are skipped instead of being copied a second time; they are not updated. If an import is interrupted, upload the same file again to finish it. A file without such an ID column (for example a hand-made spreadsheet) is recognised only row by row: a row that changed counts as a new issue.

Good to know

Bring your projects to Subtask

Subtask's core features are free with unlimited users. Create your account and import your first file in a few minutes.
