Description

After a batchupload the 'in process' column is filled with non-actionable tasks and the real tasks they refer to doesn't easily get an overview. Unnessecary frustration and cognitive burden

Typical example is T144356 that involves many many more concrete sub-tasks. Should it be a Story? A Milestone? Etc.

Event Timeline

Maybe the placeholder tasks should be Milestones and the batchuploads should be Projects?

e.g. T144374 (Write learning pattern about batch uploads) is not practically related to T144363 (Communicate about a specific batch upload)

After discussions with Sebastian: the main problem of tasks cluttering the to-do view is solved by not claiming the "place-holder tasks" (stories?), but claim the sub-tasks.

Still not sure how to avoid tasks to linger for months and months in the backlog or in progress
