Properties on Relations
M
Mark-Oliver Junge
Sometimes when relating 2 entities, it could be very powerful to attach metadata to the relation itself. Suppose the attached data model, where we model Packages and Package Versions. We want Package Versions to list their dependencies, but they can't point to specific other versions, because they probably use semver ranges (e.g. ^1.2.3), so we instead link them only to the Package, loosing version information. I would love if on the Package Dependency relation I could add "SemVer Range" as a property, such that each edge would have that data.

Include more metadata on relations aside from a name

Statement: A Service Account is related to a Bucket.
Question: How are they related?
Answer: The Service Account (entity SA1) has Read/Write/Delete access to Bucket (entity B1).
How Do We Know: This data is available during syncs/ingestion, and could be "placed" on the relation for each edge.

I would use this also to display relationships to common tables (statuses) with their respective colors, similar to enum colors.

for my use case it would be useful if properties could be added to relationships.
Example:
A service reads from a queue (modelled as a blueprint). I would like to add boolean properties for reading and writing to the relationship.

We are very interested in this feature.
Just one addition - it would be even more helpful after adding a way to "describe" connection - if we can color code the relation based on properties
