This is a YouTube video titled "Q&A: Can you build ClickUp Goals with Relationships?" containing a single-speaker explanation from May 30, 2023, discussing the use of linked fields, relationships, subtasks, and dependencies in ClickUp for building goal or OKR tracking systems. The speaker compares traditional dependency relationships with custom ClickUp relationships and shares personal usage preferences.
Alex is wondering if you can use linked fields or relationships in ClickUp to build some kind of goal or OKR tracking system. While this is in reaction to this old video where I'm actually using subtasks, the answer to Alex is yeah, you can totally use them. The reason I still have a preference though, for subtasks or for traditional dependency relationships instead of a custom ClickUp relationship is because with subtasks and with dependencies, we can automate based on those. However, custom relationships can totally work. It wasn't really an option back when this video was first created, but if you watch some of my more recent videos on the channel, you'll actually find that that's something that I'm using in my own ClickUp Are custom relationships to connect projects to overall themes or rocks? So depending on what features you actually need, the answer could be yes, no, or maybe.
