For software architecture, UML, SysML, interface and context diagrams it is often necessary to represent bidirectional relationships using a single connector with arrowheads at both ends.

Microsoft Visio has supported this for decades. The inability to independently configure start and end arrowheads significantly limits Lucidchart's usefulness for engineering and software architecture modelling.

Please allow independent configuration of arrow styles for both connector endpoints ASAP.

Hi @Leif Johansen, thanks for posting in the Community!

Arrows on both endpoints are supported by Lucid.
