Visual hint amending/deleting a connection/rule

Would be good to know exactly what you're amending or deleting, especially when it's a big change.

For instance, I sometimes need to delete old Keystone Connections and Attribute Mapping Rules... so you select the delete option against the appropriate row. The popup, however, doesn't confirm exactly which one it is... so I have a moment of doubt, close the popup, and really make sure I'm 100% definitely selecting the correct one before I continue. Having a visual prompt on the popup to confirm which connection/rule it is would just remove that tiny bit of doubt.

Same with updating metadata in 1:1 Connection... this time it's an entire page (not popup) but again there's no visual confirmation exactly which connection you're updating.

Just a thought.
