In several places:
- File > Import > Transition List or Assay Library
- Direct pasting of a transition list

We currently guess the meaning of the columns that got pasted or are being imported. It would be better to then show a grid informing the user of the choices we have made and allowing them to reassign the meaning of the columns, before clicking an OK button to allow the import to proceed. We should also have a checkbox option for whether or not to show this grid for people who are already comfortable with the UI-less approach and don't want to be bothered by the form popping up.

Still need time or the right intern to get this done. Some work has been done and lives on a branch, but this code is changing and we haven't yet landed this as a feature in the product.
