Projects and Initiatives

Linear Projects and Initiatives import is in beta. This article documents known limitations we're actively working to resolve.

Projects​

Assignee column shows incorrect name​

The Assignee column displays in table view, but this name is misleading. Linear calls this field Lead for Projects.

Workaround: Enable the Lead column instead to see project leads.

Initiatives​

Real-time updates unavailable​

Ducalis receives real-time updates from all other task trackers—changes sync automatically. Linear Initiatives don't support real-time updates yet.

Workaround: Click Manual Sync-In to fetch initiative updates.

Status auto-update rules don't apply to initiatives​

Status auto-update rules currently apply only to issue statuses, not initiative statuses. We're working on adding initiative status support.
