The lookup always starts with the name, but if no protocol can be found 
and the value is a numeric value a lookup by ID is also tried. This 
works the same for all items with some extensions for array slides, 
platforms and file types, where a lookup by barcode or external ID is 
made between the name and internal ID lookup.

This is an excellent idea. I would like to take it one step further and 
build this into the core, so that new items are automatically created 
with project defaults for protocol, hardware, software, etc.

You can create configurations (Administrate -> Plugins -> 
Configurations) and then use them when importing. It is currently not 
possible to save a job as a configuration.
