[VUser]

An option to enable/disable query folding.

Please provide an option to disable. Changing 100's of queries from pointing to a view to a SELECT * FROM VW_XXXX is going to take forever. Why would this ticket "Need Votes". We aren't asking for a feature, we are asking for a fix to something that is broken.

https://powerquery.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/stop-query-folding-with-table-stopfolding/ As of May 2022, the Table.StopFolding() function in M prevents query folding.

I've wasted an accumulation of days waiting for a custom SQL statement to "evaluate" and it wasn't necessary. Please add an option to disable query folding and just run the SQL statement. Period. That's all I need.
