How to skip a test manager case, or toggle the "Enabled" in a test case?

I am using Simulink Test.
I would like to skip a test manager case, for example, if I have set a parameter to run a short suite of tests.
I can create a basic test manager file:
% Create a test file
tf = sltest.testmanager.TestFile("test_file");
% Create a test suite within the test file
ts = sltest.testmanager.TestSuite(tf, "My Test Suite");
% Cre a test case of type 'baseline'
tc = createTestCase(ts, "baseline", "My Baseline Test");
However I can not check if the test case is enabled. This seems to fail (I have also checked this with the AI helper).
% Assume 'tc' is your TestCase object
isEnabled = getProperty(tc, 'Enabled');
I can not set this programatically through MATLAB either.
% Assume 'tc' is your TestCase object
setProperty(tc, 'Enabled', false);
Is this possible any other way?
Or can I skip over the test case using another way?

Hi David,
Currently, Simulink Test does not support programmatically enabling or disabling test cases using MATLAB code.
You can disable a test case manually in the Test Manager GUI by right-clicking the test case and unchecking the "Enabled" option, as shown below:

If you need to skip a test case based on a parameter programmatically, a common workaround is to add conditional logic inside your test script to "skip" the test:
if skipThisTest
disp('Skipping this test case')
return;
end
Alternatively, you can structure your test suites or test file creation logic so that only the desired test cases are included when running tests programmatically.
I hope this helps!
