Why can't I discard a single trial in experiment manager?

I am doing a basiyan method to optimize the hyperparameters used in training an RL agent. However, I can't discard a single trial in experiment manager. when I right click on any of the trials, the discard button is gray.

Can you tell me which version of MATLAB you are using?

@Abhinaya Kennedy

R2024a according to the Release that the user filled out when creating the question.

Hi Danial,

I can see that you are trying to discard a task, but you are unable to do so.

I notice that your Bayesian optimization experiment on is still running, and it is due to that reason that you are unable to discard that task even though its status is completed.

I believe MATLAB do not allow stopping individual trials or the experiment for Bayesian optimization strategy. If you run your experiment with strategy exhaustive sweep, then you can discard the tasks. You can only discard Bayesian optimization trials by stopping your experiment.

Thanks.
