Disabling and Enabling Conditions
When you link variables to each other, you can apply a condition to the link that connects the variables. At run time, this condition needs to be true for the value of the source variable to be copied to the target variable. During debugging, you might want to disable or remove the condition from the link to make sure that Designer properly copies data between variables. By disabling the condition, you instruct Designer to ignore the condition placed on the link and automatically execute the link.
Disabling the condition preserves the written expression. When you enable the condition, you do not need to rewrite the expression.
The Pipeline view uses a blue link (line) to indicate that properties (such as conditions and array indexes) have been applied to the link between variables. Designer retains the blue color even when you disable the applied condition to remind you that properties have been set.
To disable or enable a condition placed on a link between variables
1. Open the flow service that you want to edit.
2. In the editor, select the INVOKE or MAP step that contains the link with the condition you want to disable or enable.
3. In the Pipeline view, select the link with the condition that you want to disable.
4. In the General category of the Properties view, do one of the following:
To disable the condition, set the
Evaluate copy condition property to
False.
To re-enable the condition, set the
Evaluate copy condition property to
True.
