Configuring Jira for untranslatable concepts
Rory has created a Jira-project where we can log concepts we deem impossible to translate. How should we configure the project? How generic or specific should the issues be, which fields do we need? The project can be explored at /projects/SCTF/summary.

I would like to add a fourth problem to Feikjes list: concepts with unclear meaning, usually concepts without any defining attributes.
I've also encountered the problem of concepts where the attributes don't match the FSN. Ex: allergic rhinitis due to tree pollen, which was modelled with a causative agent of tree and shrub pollen while the tree pollen concept exists as child of tree and shrub pollen. This concept was already reported by me to the allergy CRG along with a similar one with weed pollen/flower dan weed pollen causative agent and both will be corrected (modification of the causative agent attribute value).
I've also encountred the reverse, FSN that is mode vague the the attribute while clearly the intended meaning of the concepts was indeed the narrower meaning of the attribute value. There is a whole bunch of disease of "tonsil" that are like that, that points actually to palatine tonsils, where the attribute is correctly to those specific tonsils but the FSN, by stating only "tonsil" is ambiguous because there are a few concepts that are general groupers for all tonsils tubal, pharyngeal and palatine and without looking at the definition, you never know from the FSN is it goes about the general meaning or the palatine ones.
I think I can recall three types of translation problems I'd like to deposit in this project:
Single concepts that are obsolete, or whose scope is limited to UK or USA.
Pairs or even trio's of duplicate concepts, where we cannot translate both and would prefer early feedback on which will be retained and which will be inactivated.
Entire branches of concepts, or concepts that share a particular phrase, whose scope is limited. E.g. 'private referral to...' - not possible in the Netherlands. Or 'soft drugs'/'hard drug's' - multiple concepts that refer to a different list of drugs in each country.
For the first category an SCTID field would be very handy, but for the latter you could only put an example. And I wouldn't want to create separate issues for concepts with have basically the same issue.
What kinds of issues do you envisage? Which fields could we add to improve searchability?
