Disable/Enable Toggle for DNS entries

It’d be really useful to have a toggle switch to enable/disable DNS entries instead of the only option which is to delete the entry.

Context:

I have a few subdomains which need removing, but doing so has a very small but probable chance of breaking something else.

It’d be awesome to disable an A record and have that ability to see if something does break/stop working first.

Hopefully, others feel the same. :slight_smile:

I often comment out records (in vim for zones that are hosted elsewhere) for the same purpose, so I understand your motivation here.

While slightly more effort than what you describe, you can achieve similar results with an export and import of DNS records. You also get the benefit of having a backup of your zone data.
