Currently to use the batch deploy option the workspace must have a writer. If there is not one, the option is greyed out. Given that are multiple ways to create data via transformers, this restriction no longer makes sense.

True!

I never use it, but your suggestion is right.

Interestingly enough, all you need is a writer, it doesn't have to be attached to anything or even enabled.

Currently a Reader & Writer is required to enable the batch deploy, but as mentioned by jdh, there are also other ways to read data.

 

As mentioned; the work around is to add a Reader & Writer that do nothing.
