I noticed you guys changed the behavior for "include on refresh", where when you enable a disabled query but with enable load, it will no longer try to refresh it with new data after applying the change but instead only evaluating it.


It is different than what I got used to, but what would help me would be if select multiple queries in one go, that by right clicking them, you could change its setting for "include on refresh" to enable or disable. And perhaps, to make life even easier, have this option to enable/ disable by just right clicking a group folder.


The reason is that the resources consumption upon refresh is the biggest and by this, you can get more out of Power BI with a smaller device. Also, any accounts, like Salesforce, where the limit is 10 Objects queries active at one time, would allow to load more than 10 by splitting it up.


And my expectation, if you select multiple queries where it has been partially enabled and disabled, it would upon enabling enable them all, even when it is already enabled. Like how you can make text bold by pressing the "bold" icon.
