Description

AnimGraph in complex scenarios becomes fairly big, with a lot of transitions, states, conditions, etc.
Currently there is not way to disable a transition, only deleting it, which makes debugging and experimenting fairly hard.

Would be great if there was an ability to disable/enable transition.
This especially applies to the Editor.

Research direction

Start by locating the AnimGraph transition model and the Editor code that creates, displays, and deletes transitions. Determine how a transition can be toggled without being deleted, then verify that disabled transitions remain available for debugging and can be enabled again.
