clickup_update_folder
Rename a ClickUp Folder and optionally toggle its custom status override to control whether it inherits statuses from the Space or uses folder-level ones.
Instructions
Rename a Folder and/or toggle its status-override setting.
Calls PUT /folder/{folder_id}. Setting override_statuses=True moves
this Folder (and Lists inside it, unless a List overrides further) from
inheriting the Space's status workflow to a Folder-level custom one;
this endpoint only flips the flag — inspect the resulting statuses with
clickup_get_folder. Note: the status definitions themselves cannot be
set through the public API (same limitation as Space statuses, verified
live for Spaces) — define custom statuses in the ClickUp UI.
When to Use:
To rename a Folder.
To turn Folder-level status overrides on or off.
When NOT to Use:
To change a single List's statuses — that is scoped to the List/Space tools, not this endpoint.
Returns:
A confirmation string with the Folder's new name, or an Error ... string.
Examples: params = {"folder_id": "456", "name": "Q3 Launches (Renamed)", "override_statuses": True}
Error Handling:
404 means folder_id doesn't exist or isn't accessible; 400 means the
name is missing/invalid.
