Bulk task creation without start node

[normanrz]

The bulk test upload feature is nice for specifying many tasks. However, it is tailored around skeleton tracings. For merger mode or volume tracings, we just want to specify a bounding box and not have an initial node.

Are you referring to Task creation via NML upload or CSV bulk task creation? (Or both?) How would you prefer for the user to specify that no initial node should be created in the CSV case? Should we introduce an additional column?

I was referring to CSV bulk creation. Could we use empty columns?

Ok thanks for the clarification! Yes, we can add another boolean column after baseAnnotationId. If the user does not want to set the optional columns before the new one, they can use double commas as in "someValue,,someOtherValue"
