Apart from when I'm at war, it feels like ~50% of the clicks I make in this game are to do moving diplomats around the improve relations.
Is this me playing weirdly or is the UI just kind of rubbish for this? What I do is I have a bunch of nations I want to keep high standings with (maintain alliances, keep vassals/colonies happy, keep their HRE vote, etc...) and I'll rotate my diplomats between them. Generally I'll boost relations up to +100 and then send the diplomat around somewhere, rinse and repeat. Once one of the modifiers has dropped to below +70, I'll send the diplomat back around to boost it up. It takes a while to set up, but a single diplomat can keep half a dozen or so countries in the 70-100 range, but it requires moving the diplomat every 6 months or so. Often I might have up to 4 or more diplomats doing this. So almost every game month I have to recall a diplomat, see which country on my "keep happy" list has the lowest relation, and send the diplomat there. It's boring.
Unless I'm the only one with this problem, it makes sense for the UI to be modified (but without changing the underlying mechanic, I find it works pretty well). My suggestion would be an "Improve Relations Manager" tab. You assign as many diplomats as you want to ti, those assigned diplomats are not available for the player to use until you pull them back out of the manager. You also add any number of countries to the manager. The manager then assigns those diplomats to improve relations in those countries, prioritising those with the lowest improve relations modifier. The diplomats stay there until the boost is +100, at which point they get moved to new nation with in the manager.
A small change, but a rather big quality of life improvement for me. I'd mod it in myself if I had any idea how mods work in Paradox games
