A useful GUI addition would be another column on the Raw bioassays
list view called 'Has inherited annotations'.  The content of that column
would be a simple yes/no.  Alternatively, it could be called 'Inherited
annotations' and could provide more information.

Without this I don't see an efficient way to check that I have remembered
to inherit annotations for each raw bioassay.

Obviously this would be suitable for other item types too.

It might even be nice to be able to set up default annotation
inheritance paths for a Project, but that's probably a bigger task.

A related aside:
  
  So correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that for most purposes, you only
  need to inherit annotations from Sample or Biosource to Raw bioassays.
  Although you can inherit these annotations at each intermediate step
  (extract, labelled extract, hyb, scan), the last step is the important one
  (for analysis).

many thanks,
Bob.
