Description

I don't think this is remotely urgent, but for the label schema the other common type of task worth capturing could be time-to-event with some kind of duration_value or something capturing duration and/or censoring in some way.

Research direction

Review the existing label schema and its current task types before deciding whether time-to-event needs a new duration_value representation. Define how duration and censoring should be captured, and consider the schema changes and validation needed for the proposal to be complete.
