Updating Linear issue status when adding via URL

If you add a Linear task via the URL import method (copying and pasting the URL of a Linear issue into the add task modal), you are also able to update the status as you add it.

After pasting the Linear issue URL, select it.

You'll then be able to click "Update status of ... ?", and select a new status for that issue in Linear. When you finish adding the task to Sunsama, the status will be updated.
