This is a YouTube video titled "Why use Custom Fields Instead of Statuses in ClickUp?" containing a single-speaker explanation from December 26, 2022, discussing when and why to use custom fields for statuses in ClickUp project management software, particularly focusing on the benefits when dealing with complex or mixed data types.
So Federico is wondering why you should use custom fields for your status instead of just the status field if you already use very simple statuses like to do in progress and done well. The answer is you don't have to. The real reason to use custom fields as your statuses in ClickUp is if you're mixing data types or if you have statuses that are not appropriate for your entire list or folder or space. But if you are like Federico and you already have like pretty simple statuses, there is no reason that you need to go ahead and use custom fields. Go ahead and use the status field if you have things nice and simple. One other argument for keeping your statuses simple to begin with, so hope that helps.
