Remember the last used item when creating new items

[Nicklas Nordborg]

For example, when you create a new Raw bioassay you may select "Scan", "Software", etc. In the current implementation the list starts empty each time. It would be very hand if the web client could remember the last selected item and use that as a default value the next time. Or, to take it one step further, the web client could remember the four most recently used items and put them in the list for quicker selection. And, the number of items to remeber could be a configurable option on a per-user level.
