Can you update relation name ?

Relation names are 'sequel', 'prequel', 'adaption', ...
I want to use relation for my website, but it's hard to use when I don't have what is relation name?
Currently I don't plan to add that info.
I would like to request this as well as the relation types are carrying a lot of important information. I'm currently using this database to map anime titles to AniList ids, but I'm running into issues with some titles using season numbers, say Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? S3 instead of Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? BLOOM (and sometimes both to be extra confusing).
Using the relations together with the anime type and release date I should be able to figure out the season number for those series were it is not disputed. Except that some of those relations are for spin-offs or remakes, take for example Index and Railgun where the spin-off has its own entire hierarchy.
It gets more crazy due to silly relations from ads/specials containing cameos/crossovers. Here is the relation graph for Attack on Titan:
It ends up being connected to Ghost in the Shell through Animegatari which happened to do collabs with both of the franchises and therefore has Character relations.
I could possible do some of this season analysis through the synonyms, but there is a lot of garbage there as well and I would preferably like to do both. I'm not sure what the best way would be to retrofit this information, but it would greatly increase the usefulness of the relations.
Personally I would be fine with either having a raw dump of the crawled data so I can extract it myself or having it as a separate JSON file that gets updated yearly, the main reason I'm using this database is to avoid hitting their servers with thousands of requests.
