I understand that linking related items is one-way by default, but the majority of the time, I want to have 2 way links. Creating two way links is a bit tedious. I first go to create the first link w...
Yes, please, please, please. This has been a frustration since links were first added. I almost always want a bidirectional link, so right now I have to go through the process of manually adding on both ends, and if I'm doing some cleanup where I'm adding/changing several items, I often miss some links. Every time I fight it, I promise myself to come request this change but never do. Not this time! 😣
It looks like this has been talked about in the forums going back at least five or six years, and I'm sure there were requests for it going back to the beginning of linking. The MVP implementation also seems like a relatively straightforward reuse of existing back-end functionality with minimal UI changes, so I'm kinda surprised this hasn't been addressed yet.
Batch-linking would be fantastic to have but definitely entails some more complication and planning, so working on that later makes complete sense. (FWIW, I think a UX that maybe involved dragging a selection of items onto another might be a good approach to this one, at least as one method.)
