Turn on/off Magic ETL tiles

ColemenWilson

It would be really helpful to have the ability to turn on/off Magic ETL tiles. This is the equivalent of commenting out lines in a SQL dataflow so they don't execute when the dataflow runs but the effort in that section of the ETL is not lost and can easily be re-added.

This has been brought up before. Can we merge these topics? @AnnaYardley

Also, can we get an update? Because this is a great idea!

Comment out tiles in MagicETL

When building complex ETLs it would be handy to be able to "comment out" tiles so they are ignored for execution. For bonus points, I'd like to be able to have an unterminated chain of commented-out tiles not block the ETL's execution.

We have been asking for this quite noisily for YEARS! Some day…SOME DAY! @BenSchein

This is an idea I've been deeply interested in as well, as a heavy Magic user myself. I do have it on my backlog, but with this additional signal, I will review this with the team again. Thank you for surfacing this!

I have a lot of ideas along this vein, including better commenting in general, grouping/boxing of tiles together, markup on the canvas etc.
