I have upwards of 15 data sets being read for various tasks in my workbench. When something goes wrong in one section of the workbench, it is nice to disable the non-offending readers to save time on testing. This is currently limited to a single reader/writer. It would be nice to select multiple readers/writers, and disable all at once.

Hi @c4. Development is looking into this request, tracked as enhancement request # 79002. I'll let you know when I receive any feedback from Development. Thank you for suggesting!


using fme workbench 2017 here........When you go to a writer and click enable/ Disable (or Enable only this feature type. It will only enable or disable the writer. Typically everything along the right side of the model. This doesn't disable or enable the readers or the transformers that are not in use. I just think it would be nice if when you enabled or disabled the writer it looks at all the readers and transformers it is connected to and selects only those. Sometimes we only need to update certain features in our huge model. One click selection of writer would help eliminate error and translation time by removing all other readers transformers and writers. I hope this is similar to the previous request.
