Is "Enable Track" still missing in PLE in Cubase 14?

Hey guys,
In Cubase 14 I want to enable a disabled track using the project Logical editor but I can’t find any direct option for it. The only thing available is the Post-Process command there that toggles between enable and disable, but that’s not what I want. I need something that strictly enables a track if it’s disabled, not something that just switches between both states.
I tried looking for a solution and found this old forum post from Cubase 12 where someone had the exact same problem. He mentioned that enable Track was missing from the Transform section of PLE and was only available as a post-process action as toggle state. The topic is closed now, so I can’t reply there, but I still have the same issue in Cubase 14.
Has this ever been fixed, or is it still not possible to enable a track directly through PLE?

btw, If you’re wondering why I don’t want to use the toggle state, it’s because the PLE preset I’m creating is part of a macro, and in that macro, I only want to enable the track. If the track is already enabled, I don’t want it to be disabled, otherwise, it will mess up the entire macro.

While a direct enable action isn’t available, you can create a macro combined with a PLE preset to achieve the desired outcome:

  1. Create a PLE Preset to Select Disabled Tracks:
  • Open the Project Logical Editor.
  • Set the filter to identify disabled tracks:
    • Property | Property is set | Disabled
  • Set the action to select these tracks:
    • Function | Select
  • Save this as a preset, e.g., “Select Disabled Tracks.”
  1. Create a Macro to Enable Disabled Tracks:
  • Go to the “Macros” section in the “Key Commands” window.
  • Create a new macro, e.g., “Enable Disabled Tracks.”
  • Add the following commands in order:
    • Process Project Logical Editor Preset | Select Disabled Tracks
    • Enable Track

I think the idea from @almaelectronix can be consolidated into one PLE preset without the need for macros.

@cubasened, it works perfectly if you do as @Johnny_Moneto depicted. Even if you work on MIDI track, you should select “Audio / Disable/Enable Track” in Post-process commands. Just search “disable” in its long list.
