Defect: 2018.1.4 Disable Container

[MarqueeCrew]

While performance tuning a solution of @LordNeilLord, I came across a bug in designer.  My use case was to create multiple ways to skin a cat and then to compare the timings of each run.  I put each approach into its own container.  To my surprise, I see messages in the results from containers that are disabled.

In the enabled container there are 0 filters and 0 summarize tools.  The disabled containers are still executing logic.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi @jwokurka,

We have a project created to look into this. I don't have an estimate on timeline yet but will check with our development team to see if there is any update on timeline and post back.

Thanks,

Hi @Lanwenn,

This should be fixed in 2018.3 or newer of Alteryx. Are you still experiencing the issue in a newer version of Alteryx?

Thanks!

Hello.  I am on Version 2018.4 of Alteryx, and I am still finding that I have to check the "disabled" box.  Simply using the toggle arrow to "collapse" the container does not disable the tools within it.

Never mind....user error.  It works for me.

I am using 2019.3 and having the same issue. Ironically, when you open debug the container is disabled however when I run the workflow the container executes.

I'm experiencing the same issue. In both debug mode and "run as an app" the data update container is executed even being disabled.
