Description Chris Hartley CLA 2010-02-09 13:09:46 EST 
It is annoying to have to hard delete stuff in a profile (or to have to comment it out in XML.

TS should support an enabled checkbox for primitives and stereotypes

Disabled entries should appear in grey in the UI.
Comment 1 Eric Dillon CLA 2010-02-09 13:27:11 EST 
I guess we could have an "enable/disable" check box for:
- each stereotype
- each primitive type

which would allow to "keep" definitions inside a profile, but mark them as disabled, so they would not appear altogether once the profile was deployed.

Would that cover it?
Comment 2 Chris Hartley CLA 2010-02-09 13:44:26 EST 
So how can I re-enable them if they don't appear in the UI once I deploy ?

(Disabled stuff shouldn't deploy in the binaries)

you can't. This would lead to inconsistencies between people that do or don't re-enable.
This is only available as you edit the profile in my mind.

I don't think it would be a good idea to enable/disable such entries once the profile is deployed, since it would lead to inconsistencies as  Eric has mentioned in comment#3.
