I want to be able to extend existing profiles on SonarCloud and deactivate specific rules.
According to the tooltip on a built-in profile: “Rules in built-in Quality Profiles can’t be deactivated. You can create a customizable Quality Profile based on a built-in one by Copying or Extending it in the Quality Profiles list.”
However, when I extend a profile and try to deactivate a rule, the tooltip reads “This rule is inherited and cannot be deactivated.”
The only way to deactivate a rule is by copying a profile. But that means it no longer stays up to date.
