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 artifacts

Three use cases:

a) a couple out of the batch should be rejected

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.

b) the approver/publisher is not always the same

At least during the migration and possible otherwise also, we have cases where we'd import large lists of terms, which would end in various categories, which have different approvers. The bulk import seems to imply that the approver/publisher needs to be always the same.

c) the approval time would vary

Even though the assets would be imported in bulk, it does not mean they would all be approved at the same time - that business process might have varying length. Current 'all or nothing' does not support this case either.

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.

A question: I am not sure how the imports will interact with workflows? Let's say I import 25 terms to several categories first. They will become drafts until approved, right. And then I import 10 terms from that original list again, with values to new attributes that were not covered by the first load. What will happen? Will the drafts of those two loads be merged for the 10 terms in question? If yes, who will approve the bulk loads? If they are not merged, will there be two separate drafts for same term?
