Another option I REALLY need is to be able to choose a relationship on my DNA matches other than the few 'allowed' ones.
For instance, I have one relative that I know is my 5th cousin but Ancestry does not have that as an available choice for me to select for this person, they think it should be much closer. Some relatives are closer in DNA because of family marrying family x amount of generations back, and the actual relationship they are to me is not available as an option because it is not in the 'accepted' relationships.
One 4th cousin 1 removed I can only choose 4th cousin on etc. I have lots of 'distant relationship' options on relatives I know are 5th cousins, 6th cousins etc and could put the real relationship in if it would let me do this.
