Description Yvan Lussaud CLA 2018-07-20 05:53:25 EDT 
create a reconnect tool
 - on relation based edge
 - that reconnect the source

the variable target is types as the relation target mapping but at runtime the value is a value of type: source of the mapping.

I think the confusion here comes from the fact that when we deals with edges the term source and target are obvious. But in this tool the source refers to the drag source of the drag and drop and target refers to the target drop of the drag and drop. This should also be stated in the documentation to limit confusion.

In a perfect world the source variable should be renamed dragSource and the target variable dropTarget.
