This article explains which data types ProBackup can restore for ClickUp and any known limitations.
Lists
When you restore a list, a new list is created in the original folder or space. The list statuses, tasks, comments, files, custom fields, views and time tracking are restored with it. If the original folder no longer exists, a new folder is created automatically.
Known limitations:
Due to API restrictions, formula fields cannot be restored and will be skipped.
Statuses that ClickUp no longer accepts are skipped.
Tasks
When you restore a ClickUp task, you have two options:
Option 1: Restore as new records
Creates a copy of the selected tasks in the original list. All subtasks, comments, files, checklists, custom fields, dependencies and time tracking will be restored as well. This is the safest option and does not affect any existing ClickUp tasks.
Option 2: Overwrite existing records
Updates existing tasks with the backed-up field values. Use this to roll back changes to a task that still exists in your list. When you select Overwrite existing records, a field picker appears. Select which fields you want to overwrite: name, description, status, priority, start and due date, time estimate, assignees, tags and custom fields.
Note: A task that was deleted in ClickUp can only be restored as a new record.
Known limitations:
Formula fields and recurring dates are not restored.
Files from file custom fields are attached directly to the task, not to the custom field.
Docs
When you restore a Doc, the restored version includes the version date appended to the name. If the parent page no longer exists, the Doc is restored at the root of your workspace.
Note: Images and attachments inside a Doc keep their original ClickUp links. If the original file was deleted in ClickUp, it may no longer load.
Comments
When you restore a comment, a duplicate is created in the related task. Comment reactions are not restored.
Files
When you restore a file, it is added to the related task.
Custom fields
When you restore a custom field, a duplicate is created in the related list. All field values for existing tasks are restored as well. If the same field already exists at folder or space level, that field is reused.
Note: After restoring a custom field or list, you may need to add the custom fields to your view manually.
