This is useful for batch assignments. In batch assignments, the jobtype code will usually scan the process's output and set tasks to done as soon as they are done, but until now, it cannot reset the time_started value for a task, meaning all tasks in an assignment have the same start time. This in turn means that later tasks in an assignment will show a runtime that is the sum of their actual runtime plus the runtimes of all the tasks from the same assignment that were run before.
