[feature]: Import issues from LINEAR

[kotasudhakar]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Summary

When someone want to migrate from the linear, they do export the issues which will generate a excel file with all the issues and their description, status and other related information about each issue. However if we have an import from linear button which would accept a excel file generated from linear and automatically create issues

Why should this be worked on?

Helps easily migrate from linear to plane with all the existing issues without needing to create one by one manually

Hello @kotasudhakar! Thank you for the feature request. Our team will commence work on it in the near future.

As a first step a csv import would also help us a lot.

Yes, absolutely

Apologies for the delayed response @pmig, @kotasudhakar. This feature is among the most requested ones.

Currently, our integrations/importers only support the cloud version. We are solving this by developing a new architecture--Public APIs and a Gateway for self-hosted version.

In the meantime, implementing a CSV importer should be like a hack for this. Do you have any suggestions regarding the format of the CSV structure? Your input will contribute to an improved user experience.
