Feature to Enable/Disable a node

[JanC]

hey,

a feature request

As a user
I’d like to have a generic enable/disable node configuration
so that I can easily toggle its behaviour

There are many usecase where it would be useful for a user to easily be able to disable a node so that the node simply becomes a pass-through node.

There are many topics already created and I wonder if there was any progress on that. Is that on any roadmap?

thanks in advance

Disable branches or Nodes

Hi there, within the development phase of a workflow I play sometimes around with different types models or data treatment. Is there a way to disable a connection between two consecutive nodes without deleting it? Today I just delete the connections, but it is very annoying to reconnec them later. In Matlab/Simulink, for example, there is a manual switch where the user can define manually which branch the model uses… would be great to have something similar in KNIME. Andreas

"Pass-Through" Nodes and Enabling/Disabling Nodes

Here are two simple quality-of-life suggestions for new features in node behaviour: I’d sometimes like to be able to activate or deactivate a node in my pipeline for testing. Sure I can just redraw the data connections to bypass the node, but it would be nice to have a simpler option, such as a switch in the context menu. Sometimes I branch off a lot of data connections from a single node during exploratory analysis. It would be nice to have some sort of feature to bundle data connections …

Hi guys,

Ig I understand well, you can use try/catch nodes to do it. If the first process is ok, you won’t need to run a second one, and if the first have a problem, the second process will be used.

Other tips is with variables and If nodes or empty results with empty tables node. If have some data, go throw the best way, other side, a new path can be used to go throw another way.

If you have 2 paths that do the same thing, you can join them together and then remove duplicates too.

But, I think there are solutions for different kind of problems to have a good solution.

It can help you?

Thanks, Denis
