Is there a way to set the plasmid topology during new entity registration?

Issue

When registering DNA sequences in Benchling, the topology defaults to 'Linear' and cannot be selected during registration using the registration table or schema.

Environment

DNA Sequence

Workaround

The 'Import DNA/RNA sequences from spreadsheet' option available under the 'Global create' icon, allows us to import entities via a spreadsheet and specify whether the topology of all sequences should be set to linear or circular.

During the import process, in the 'DNA sequence settings' pop-up window, we can enable the checkbox to import all sequences as 'Circular' or leave it unchecked for 'Linear' topology.
