It would be nice if the big long list of modules would be categorised to make it easier to select/deselect them (category-based "select all" and "deselect all" would be good too). E.g.

- Device Communication
- Visualisation
- Common

Really, it's the device comms modules all intertwined with all the other ones that makes it difficult at the moment

Idea #2  
It'd also nice to be able to select installations for different editions of the product. E.g. select "Ignition Edge IIot" to install the relevant modules for that so I don't have to deselect a whole tonne of modules and hope I got it right (because uninstalling modules is a slow process, especially when it's quite a few)

Hey Nick,

I have opened up an internal ticket for this. It would be nice to have some categorization or pre-seeded defaults for some typical install types (like Edge IIoT you mentioned)

Ill see if there is something we can do with this.

Thanks for the suggestion!
