Master data save

Widget represents a master data dropdown which pulls data from database and has a "+" symbol next to it. By pressing "+" symbol user will get on the next page where he can add additional records into master data table which fills dropdown on previous page. When data is filled and user goes back to previous page data added will be shown in dropdown. Information in dropdown is sorted "A-Z".
