We get this request a lot, and we're still thinking through what the right user experience should look like for this. Another usecase for this we hear about is if you have a very large app with several queries so the initial load takes forever, but all you wanted to do is go in and change one small thing.
Feel free to expand on the topic here, or with me in a DM – we're happy to take your use case into account as we design the right user experience for this.
old request but wanted to throw my support behind it as well! I just had to deal with a module choking on queries running with no data...just so i could finally change them not to run on no data. crashed my browser twice before I could make the changes
