Ability to edit exisiting activity units without deleting and recreating

[ValWood]

It would be useful if we could edit terms in activity units. This does not appear to be possible. In this example we would want to edit the BP to GO:0030466 silent mating-type cassette heterochromatin formation (this would happen quite a lot if we used an existing term as a place holder)

Because we cannot edit, we need to delete and re-add ALL of the causal connections. This can be quite time-consuming.

We can work-around by leaving blank unto the correct annotation filters through. However, this must often be a problem when terms need editing due to obsoletions and other GO changes.

@ValWood @Pcarme It is possible to edit terms in an annoton on the VPE. I will show you on Tuesday and we can see how to update the documentation to make this clearer.

I have been able to add them (i.e. we can create a new annotation), but I haven't been able to import existing annotations when editing. We want to avoid creating new annotations if annotations exist at PomBase.

In theory, I would be happy for us to create non-experimental annotations in Noctua because we don't make these in Canto, the sticking point here is the time lag for annotations to appear in PomBase.

This might be the same issue https://github.com/geneontology/noctua/issues/836

Also, related, once you have made a MF annotation, you can no longer import BP and CC annotations. We need to be able to import existing annotations at any point in the curation workflow.
