New imported macros/templates disabled by default

What I'd like to see in MacroDroid is an option to make all imported macros or macro templates from the community disabled by default when you add them. Unless I can't find it, it's a sorely missing option. I'd even go as far as to say disabled by default is the safer option for bringing in new macros from anywhere and only enabled after the user has a chance to inspect and edit.

I just visited the templates for the first time and without knowing they'd all be enabled by default I grabbed a bunch at once, leading to some potentially (but thankfully) not bizarre/breaking behavior.

A workaround I'm doing until I figure this out but continue to look online for new/creative macros is to disable MacroDroid up top entirely while I add new macros, then tweaking or disabling before enabling. But it's a little cumbersome, not least because it also means disabling the macros I actually use and know won't break my phone.

Cheers!

Actually this was a thing recently, but it was a bug 😂
I guess it could be a good feature if intentional.
