How to simply disable a trigger?

I have a rule based trigger that resets a field on a defined rule.

 

How do I disable the trigger without reconfiguring the trigger type or even deleting it?

Hi Elmar,

 

Yes, this trigger is getting executed because it has some value to assign based on the rule.

Pre/Post event are only required to execute the script.

So if you want to disable it you can move complete rule to 

And

        .......Existing Rule................

        ID==0

 

Hope this will help you.

Hi Elmer,

 

You can disable a rule based by simply unchecking the pre/post event(only in case if there is no assignment).

Else you can add one more condition in the rule i.e. "ID=0"

    For the trigger the pre/post event checkbox was not checked but the trigger still did it's job!

    Maybe this was because it has no js script that it should run but only a "Rule" that "Assigns" a certain value to a field?

     

    To disable it I now reconfigured it to type schedule as I learned from the support forum: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS148391&language=en&posno=1&q=How%20to%20disable%20a%20trigger&source=search

     

    This did not feel right to me so I wanted to know if there is a better solution.
