Run Just Selected Modules
Giovanni Coco
Sometimes we only need to test a few modules within a scenario and currently we have two options: Run once or move the initial trigger to the module we want to test. It would be much more productive to just select the modules and right-click the option Run select once.

Ability to Run Multiple Selected Modules (Without Running the Entire Scenario)
Jeremías
Currently, Make only allows two ways to execute a scenario:
- Run the entire scenario using Run Once, or
- Execute a single module individually.
This becomes limiting when testing or debugging only a specific portion of a scenario. Right now, if you want to run just a few connected modules, you have to manually move, disconnect and reconnect the trigger to that point; which means breaking existing routes, filters, and connections. Then you have to rebuild everything afterward. It’s inefficient and error-prone.
Suggestion:
Introduce the ability to select multiple modules (via SHIFT + click) and run only those modules in isolation, without executing the entire scenario.
Benefits:
• Speeds up testing and debugging.
• Eliminates the need to modify or unlink routes and filters.
• Keeps the scenario structure intact.
• Greatly improves the workflow for complex setups.
Example:
Select modules 5 through 10 → right-click → “Run Selected Modules” → Make executes only those, respecting their internal dependencies but ignoring the rest of the scenario.

Run Scenarios from a Specific Point
Joshua Mentrup
It would be great to have the option to highlight specific modules in a scenario and allow for an option to only run those modules. Currently, we have the option to:
- Execute the entire scenario
- Run 1 module
Sometimes, I need to test the functionality of an array aggregator, parsing JSON, or working with buffer data that is difficult to produce just to run 1 module, but I also can’t run the entire scenario.
If we can highlight certain modules we want to run, provide the necessary input for the first module and test our workflows that way, it would make things a lot easier!
