The batch import of e.g. terms lacks individuality - one can only handle the batch approval/review/publish in bulk. Allow as an option handling of individual assets.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

If there is two terms in a batch of 100 that should be edited before approved, then the full batch needs to be rejected until those two are in better shape. This is not a problem if the importer, reviewer, approver and publisher are the same person, but if there are multiple persons involved, it gets a lot more complicated.

The (review) comment is also common to all the 100 - there is no individuality.

I can see why sometimes this "full bulk" approach is appropriate, but it would be good to have another option where only the import step is "in bulk" - it will create individual assets as drafts. The drawback there is of course that approvers etc. will get one notification per new draft, spamming them.  But this creates flexibility in other ways.

Even better would be if one could cherry pick individually from the batch the cases that are rejected (by opening the draft - right now the buttons to approve/delete are disabled when the term has been created as part of a batch), and then bulk approve the rest. This approach would offer best of the both worlds.
