API to manage hidden flag "disabled by user" in schema config

Troy Liebel User

I recently submitted a support case to get some clarification on the expected behavior of "Schema change settings -> Allow all new data". 

When items in the schema config are manually deselected, there is a hidden flag that gets set that prevents the items from being auto selected by the "Schema change settings" functions. This functionality makes sense and is what I would expect. 

It would be ideal if I could see this flag, and set/unset it for specific items using an API. I would expect something like this to be in the connection schema api
https://fivetran.com/docs/developer-resources/rest-api/api-reference/connection-schema

I can work around this with more explicit checks and processes in my replication config automation, but having visibility into that hidden flag would be very helpful.

    Hey Troy,

    This is Ryan, the PM for our developer tooling.  The flag you're referring to is actually the enabled field; it's not a separate setting.  You'll see it with the Retrieve a Connection Schema Config API call and set it with any of the update calls.  When a connection is set to "Allow all new data", the enabled state is tracked so that previously disabled objects are not reenabled.

    Does that address what you're asking or am I misunderstanding?

    Best,
    Ryan
