Don't evaluate question unless play button pressed

Hi,
I’ve been using METABASE for a while now, I’ve noticed when you enter a question’s view, it starts doing science immediately, I was wondering, is it possible to evaluate the question if and only if the play button is pressed?
I mainly use metabase to monitor stuff, and the default parameters aren’t always useful to me, so it’d be great if I could take my time to change all the parameters and then run the query.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @aaacevedo
It’s really annoying, because I remember seeing a request for this, but I cannot find it - think I’m using the wrong words to search with.
Have a search yourself: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues
If you cannot find a request either, then open a new request.

The only workaround I can think of right now, is either set a required filter (if using SQL) or set a filter like ID=0, so the question returns nothing really fast and then you can change/remove the filter.
