Connector Improvement: Update Linear connector with new Initiative model

Completed
Christopher Mott User

The Linear connector current supports "roadmap" and "roadmap_to_project" tables, but the Roadmap feature has been deprecated by Linear and those tables are now longer being updated in customer accounts. 

Linear has introduced Initiatives that are very similar to Roadmaps, but have a new API and data model. 

Change request:
1) Add API calls to the Linear connector to populate "initiative" and "initiative_to_project" tables  (https://studio.apollographql.com/public/Linear-API/variant/current/schema/reference?query=initiative).  The existing Roadmap tables can be retained in the Fivetran connector to keep legacy data and not break current user's data. This can be a non-breaking additive change to add two new tables.

    Yes, this would be extremely welcome as this is one blocker to being able to fully use this connector without supplementing it with an additional import process separate from Fivetran.

    This is a small incremental task to keep the connector up to date and complete. Can someone provide a status report on when this can get done?

  • Mark Zimmerman User

    Upvoting this requests.  Initiatives are important to our use of linear particularly for management reporting.  

    Related question/idea; have you considered open-sourcing the connectors? With the source and your connector SDK would be very easy for interested parties to update/extend the connectors and share them back with others as pull-requests, would help keep the connectors up to date with changes in APIs.

    +1 to open sourcing if you're not going to put resources into maintaining them yourselves.  It's frustrating to have a minor incremental update lingering for over six months.
