GraphQL Bulk Operations in Shopify currently limit queries to 5 connections, and a user requests raising this cap to include InventoryLevels. The goal is to back up complete product data, including per-location inventory quantities.
Current usage in the bulk query: Products, Images, ProductMetafields, ProductVariants, and VariantMetafields.
Requested addition: InventoryLevels (to capture quantity at each location). “Connections” here refer to related resource edges in GraphQL queries; Bulk Operations enable large-scale data exports under documented operation restrictions.
Status: No response or indication of plans to increase the 5-connection limit is provided in the thread. The question remains open with no confirmed action or timeline.

Currently our bulk query is using Products, Images, ProductMetafields, ProductVariants & VariantMetafields connections for backing up shop product data, any plans to increase the 5 connection limit? Because we really want to add InventoryLevels to the query as well so we can save the quantity for each location.
Thanks
