Is there a better way of handling this situation?

I've asked if the change can be added to config for the tap, which would simplify things, but until then I guess I'm left with a fork of the tap

11/30/2021, 5:14 PMThat's probably the best way for now. I took a look at that repo and there are a TON of PRs that haven't been merged so it might be worth making a fork and putting it in MeltanoLabs.

11/30/2021, 5:30 PMThanks @amanda.folson! Never considered that if I add it as a variant in Meltano labs then I'll be able to add as a specified variant in Meltano

11/30/2021, 5:39 PM@amanda.folson maybe there is an intermediary step before adding it to Meltano Labs (I guess Meltano labs is pro
That intermediary step would be adding my own fork as a variant on the hub? https://hub.meltano.com/extractors/pendo

11/30/2021, 6:26 PM@matt_arderne yes, we can definitely add your variant as an option on the Hub! If you’d like to transfer it to MeltanoLabs too we can do that, but we’d ask for some base level of committment for PR and issue review 🙂
