8 years ago Having additional input boxes showing up in the UI is bad. UX-wise, the less boxes exists the better. The current in-place approach for editing is good (click = edit ) and should be coherent across the UI.
Instead of having an input box, UI should allow "batch edit", which basically allow to edit multiple edges in-place at the same time.
When you have multiple selections and you press the "Connect" button, the UI should provide an input box to define the name of connection.
You can see in the screenshot below that it will create new connection called 'untitled'
An modal with text input should appear asking you "Which connection type?"
