Request: allow defining blocks and blocked_by relationships during import.
Problem • CSV import ignores dependencies • Requires manual linking or API scripts post-import • Breaks atomic setup of large backlogs
Proposed Solution • Add optional columns: • Blocks • Blocked By • Accept comma-separated issue identifiers • Resolve by: • External ID • Title + Team • Or explicit Issue ID
CLI Example
linear-import --file backlog.csv --team ENG
Acceptance Criteria • Dependencies created in same import batch • Order-independent resolution • Clear error output for missing references
Why it matters • Enables deterministic backlog bootstrapping • Improves CI-style project provisioning • Eliminates fragile post-processing scripts
