[firestore-bigquery-export] Add transform function url parameter to import script
[REQUIRED] Step 2: Extension name
This feature request is for extension: firestore-bigquery-export
What feature would you like to see?
I'd like to see the import script have an option to provide a URL to a transform function, similar to the way the exporter itself works.
How would you use it?
This would be used to transform the data making the same call as is made in the exporter itself. Currently, the records imported with the import script do not match the records processed by the exporter if the exporter utilizes a transform function. Adding this feature would preserve parity between imported and exported records.
+1 to this. Not having the ability to transform data makes the exporter a bit useless for data that requires the transformations @cabljac
This is very much needed. If the extension has a transform url the import script is basically doing half of the work and futher transformation is necessary.
Currently there is a parameter for this functionality, but it sounds like it isn't enabled or working currently, I will investigate

Another request for this feature please.
Additionally, from the documentation there is nothing informing the user that this functionality does NOT work (as one can select yes for import existing records and provide a transform function URL without being told it will not be triggered on import). The user simply has to find out through trial and error. Although the functionality itself would be wonderful, in the mean time, if documentation could be updated to inform the user transform functions aren't triggered on import, it would be a (hopefully) small effort than could save other users from time spent figuring it out via trial and error.
