Connections sometimes don't appear rendered from interlock

[betsydupuis]

Steps. to reproduce

1. Create map and add two entities with many connections
2. Use interlock on these connections
3. Add several connections

Unexpected results

Some connections will fully link to every item on the page, so will not.

Proposed solution

From other UX issues in maps that I've noticed, the app would benefit from a "refresh" button on the relationships. This helps from revisiting an old map with new connections or simultaneously working on a map that while adding relationships in the database.

It's a bit of a workaround, but it would kill two birds with one stone.

Refresh as a feature could be available at multiple levels

• Refresh entity
• Refresh all entities at map level
• Refresh relationship
• Refresh all relationships

I can imagine some scenarios where a refresh feature would add more information to a map than is wanted. It would be worth writing a more detailed specification for this and soliciting input from some users before putting any development work into this.

User feedback is always good. Right, now I'm Steve Jobs-ing this features. lol

The most ideal resolution would be to fix the bug, but refreshing nodes would be nice too.

Generally I assume I'm starting over at that point, but the connections would repopulate more neatly if the node and connection lines stayed the same place as before.

Even just putting the node in the same spot would get me back where I started faster.
