# Disable legacy form rules

You can temporarily suspend a form rule by *disabling* it. Disabling a rule gives you the option to reinstate (or *enable*) the rule again at a later date.

To disable a dynamic form rule:

2. Select the **Dynamic Form Rules** tab.
3. Select the rule you want to disable by selecting its ![](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/16298065920404.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T11%3A35%3A12Z&se=2026-10-26T12%3A35%3A12Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=oQRbTi1yJfCEbVudrUCPNTio8D2rGnhUuPFY8GHB9Xo%3D) icon.

Quickbase displays a red label to the left of the rule that says **(disabled)**.

To enable a disabled rule:

5. Select **Save**.
