Run only by container

I would love to see an option to run only one container without having to disable all others (and tools not in containers).

 

I've got workflows with MANY different queries/tools each in their own containers and some tools outside of containers.  Occasionally I need to run or re-run just one of the containers (usually several times when the datastream contains Crosstab or Transpose tools where some fields/options will not populate until the workflow has previously run).  Normally I'd either have to disable all other containers and/or select EVERYTHING that I do not wish to run an add them all to another container that I could then disable.  An option to disable everything outside of a specific container would be most welcome and save a lot of time!
