Run a rule manually only

Hello,
Sorry I couldn't find a solution with search ☹️

I am backing up some network switch configs (no issue there) and the rule is kicked off with a "current time is" and I keep a few times listed, all perfectly good.

Sometimes though when I'm going to do some work on these devices I'd like to kick this off manually (Run rules -> select folder) but the rule doesn't start. I'm assuming because the time time condition isn't met.

I duplicated the same rule and set the launch condition to "current time is after 12am" and did not enable the rule, thinking perhaps it would force run that rule if I selected "Run rules", but that doesn't seem to work either.

My question is - how do I set a rule condition to be manually executed (or never start but be enabled) if possible so that only a manual request would start it? It would be super fast to have my scripts ready to launch with just a click this way.
Thanks for any suggestions!

The rule has to be enabled for it to run at all. Try enabling it and see if that works for you.

Alternatively, you could try something like matching on a color label and setting that color label on any files you want processed immediately.
