Manual topology mapping
After years of suffering with the horrific (and broken) topology mapping, how about just giving us the ability to create our own dependencies/maps, similar to The Dude or MangeEngine's OpManager?

As it stands now, you'd be able to drag and drop one node onto another. This would bring up a dialog that would let you input the edge type, direction, and in some cases allow you to search for an instance on the dragged device. But big picture, the goal is to allow you to create edges without having to write code, or even leave the mapping canvas.
I wanted to give this a bump here: This isn’t functioning if it is supposed to be in place.
at best, the “Manual Mapping” option lets you attempt to create a line between two objects, but when you do make this attempt a prompt appears stating: “Both Source and Target should have External Resource ID (ERI) defined.” or, when both have an ERI defined: “The selected source node doesn't have valid instance available, manual edge can not be created.”
So multiple Edges on devices with ERI’s can’t be created due to this.
While I understand that this feature, in particular, is currently in testing… The entire community has voiced that the Topology feature, as it stands, is in dire need of revision and Dev attention.
Version 1.86 has only made things worse.
