Many collection objects have multiple depictions, and these are often photographed/uploaded close to each other. Examples:
labels with writing on both sides
butterflies where the top and bottom are photographed right after each other
multiple views of same specimen (lateral, dorsal, ventral)
When processing staged images uploaded using the New Image task or otherwise in the "Collection Object Image Breakdown TODO list" - these images are usually uploaded right after/next to each other. Instead of having to click on the ObjectRadial, select Depictions, then Edit, then "Move to", then typing in the catalog number and selecting the appropriate depiction, there should be an easier way.
Proposed method:
1) Have a "Move this depiction to a current collection object"? Button on each loaded depiction.
2) have a "recent" collection objects dropdown pop-up (search field as secondary in case it is not recently created), that shows last 5 collection objects edited (generally it is the one immediately preceding)
3) Select that Collection Object, and TW automatically moves this depiction to that collection object.
4) Prompt to delete the current collection object, else we are left with a blank Collection Object that is unfindable.
