It would be extremely time-saving to be able to either select multiple records and update their associations at once, or move the associations menu to the top of the record for easy access.
Currently, when we are dealing with adding/removing multiple email exchanges on a record, we have to scroll all the way through what could be a very long thread to reach the associations menu to update this.
For example, in one instance we noticed that a user had been adding the wrong Deal association and all of the correspondence from months needs to be updated. This comes up fairly regularly, so would be a welcome change.
