Summary: Admin study update ergonomics

Initial Comment:
We will soon start having workstudy students improve TreeBASE data records (e.g. updating citations, DOIs, etc). This means that admin users and associate editors, etc, need efficient interactivity with the database. I've noticed two problems in this regard: (1) an admin person who clicks "Search Submission" under "Study Management" can only search by legacy study id, not the new study id. An easy solution is to have this search for (Legacy_ID OR Study_ID). An alternative solution is to provide the user with a choice between specifying either type of ID.  The second problem (2) is that the Admin user has to start by toggling the study from "Published" to "In Progress" before he can edit the citation, and then after editing the citation, the Admin user has to toggle the study from "In Progress" back to "Published" (via "Ready"). The problem is that after editing a citation, there is no link to take the admin person back to the screen where the status can be toggled -- the only solution that I can find is that the admin person has to search for the study all over again  ("Search Submission" under "Study Management"). It would be better to either provide a link to return to this page where status can be toggled OR give the admin person the ability to edit a Published study without having to toggle it to "In Progress" (i.e. keep the study as "Published" throughout the citation editing process -- currently this is not allowed).
