Asana custom fields are not preserved in any way

It seems that Linear doesn't have custom fields like Asana, but on import from Asana it could at least:

• Offer the option of using labels to replace label-like (dropdown) custom fields
• Append other custom fields and values as text within the issue description, so that they are visible and searchable in an unstructured way, even if not cleanly filterable.

It would be amazing if custom fields can be created in Linear. Despite being eligible for Asana's free tier, we currently pay to have custom fields.

Thanks for the feedback! Custom fields is something we're considering in the future and we will consider adding more support in the Asana importer, too. The CLI can be modified and it may be possible to support this with some tweaks.

Is it basically just a case of enhancing https://github.com/linear/linear/blob/master/packages/import/src/importers/asanaCsv/AsanaCsvImporter.ts ? If so, maybe you could provide some high-level hints and then see if contributors from the community can do it?
