Backfill existing submissions
When you connect, you can copy past submissions in as Linear issues. Formstep creates them in the background, about one per second.
Unfinished drafts
On Pro and Business, Linear can also create a separate issue for
unfinished drafts from the share link, set under
More options › Unfinished drafts. These issues get a partial-submission label.
Limits and behavior
- One new issue per submission. Formstep does not comment on existing issues.
- Formstep cuts a title longer than 255 characters and adds an ellipsis.
An empty title becomes
New submission to <form name>.- A file upload answer shows the file name and its download link.
A repeating group inserted with @ shows every item, joined by “ · “.
When something goes wrong
If you revoke Formstep’s access in Linear, the integration shows Connection expired: click Reconnect. For retries and pausing, see Health and monitoring.
