Suggestion for the Triggers feature while it's still in beta: allow trigger adjustment (reordering, modification, deletion, etc.) while triggers are disabled

How this came to my attention:
I've tried more than once to perform basic operations on listed triggers such as reordering and deleting individual and/or multiple triggers while the triggers are disabled.

However, when triggers are disabled, my ability to highlight them, etc., is apparently also disabled, requiring me to enable triggers in order to manipulate them.

Is that by design, and if so, why? I don't necessarily want triggers to be enabled and subject to being activated while I'm adjusting them. Even if the triggers remain disabled until I click Apply or OK (I don't know whether this is the case), being required to tick the box next to "Enable Triggers" before I can adjust them or view details seems like an extra step just to manipulate the list. Would a "Lock List" toggle box next to the "Enable Triggers" box provide a similar functionality without affecting whether Triggers are enabled?

Thank you for reading my message, whether or not it's a worthwhile idea! :)

Thanks for the feedback! It's an interesting idea, but best practices when disabling a feature is to disable the controls for configuring it as well. Otherwise, people may not notice that the checkbox is disabled and wonder why the rules they've setup aren't doing anything :)

For now, your best option is as you mentioned, to enable the checkbox, make your changes, then disable the checkbox before clicking apply.

We'll keep it in mind for the future though, in case other customers ask for the same changes!

Thanks!
