How can I set a Clickup's Task Priority to None?

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m using the Clickup node integration, and specifically at the “Update Task” node, I’m not seeing a way to update Priority back to none (clear the priority).

The tooltip just shows the integer mapping from 1 to 4, to add priorities to a task. But sending 0, or an empty string, or null via an expression doesn’t set the priority to none.

Please share your workflow

What can I do to clear a task priority?

Hi vitorlimadev

The n8n built-in node translates inputs to the ClickUp API, but it currently does not support passing null directly to the priority field. This is a limitation in the node mapping — passing an empty string, 0, or null through the node does not generate the desired call. Therefore, a custom HTTP node is required.

Use the HTTP Request node instead of the ClickUp built-in node to directly update the task.

Configure the HTTP Request node with the following parameters:

Method: PATCH
URL: https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/task/{{ $json.id }}
Make sure to replace {{ $json.id }} with the task ID obtained from the previous node (or enter a static ID for testing).

HTTP Request Configuration Example on n8n:

Method: PATCH
URL: https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/task/{{ $json.id }}
Headers: Manual input:
Authorization: Your ClickUp token.
Content-Type: application/json
Body Type: JSON

Insert the Body (in JSON format).

{
  "priority": null
}

I hope I helped in some way
