Here I am pulling all list and custom field data from ClickUp. However when I go to map the list ID in the create a task action, it only has 1 set of data for me to map. It will only shows me the data from 1 list or 1 custom field for me to map but I need to be able to map all of them.
Welcome to the Make community!
Each “List” module outputs multiple bundles, which then trigger future modules once each.
You need an aggregator for each “List” module, otherwise you will run out of operations very fast.
Aggregators
Every result (item/record) from iterator/list/search/match modules will output a bundle. This can result in multiple bundles, which then trigger multiple operations in future modules (one operation per bundle). To “combine” multiple bundles into a single variable, you’ll need to use an aggregator of some sort.
Aggregators are modules that accumulate multiple bundles into one single bundle. An example of a commonly-used aggregator module is the Array aggregator module. The next popular aggregator is the Text Aggregator which is very flexible and can apply to many use-cases like building of JSON, CSV, HTML.
There are other types of aggregator modules, click the below links to find out more:
- Array aggregator
- Text aggregator
- Numeric aggregator
- Table aggregator
- JSON aggregator
- CSV aggregator
- Archive (ZIP) aggregator
- other app-specific aggregators
Array Aggregator – mapping multiple bundles into a complex field
The Array Aggregator module is very powerful because it allows you to build a complex array of collections for a later module’s field to map multiple items (collections) to it.
This is done using the “Target structure type” of an Array Aggregator module.
Here is an example:
As you can see, the “Map” toggle on complex fields are used when you have an array. You can easily build an array variable to map to a future module’s field, by using an Array Aggregator module and select the “Target Structure Type” as the future module’s field you have mapped the array into.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thanks!
Right now I have 2 other problems. It seems clickup when I have a custom value labelled as number or money, when I pull it from sheets it is a text value so it won’t let me input.
Secondly the action to create a task continuously fires causing clickup to create many of the same tasks without stopping.
