<pre wrap="">Hi Devs,
I have a question about the "Handle Bad Layers" dialog. My scenario is working offline and loading a project with WMS layers defined. As the WMS is unreachable, the layers are marked as "bad". Since the layers are not fixable while offline, they get deleted from the project.
I would like to continue to edit the layers locally stored on my laptop and not lose the definitions of the WMS layers when saving the project.
I would like to see the "bad" layers marked as "disabled because bad" and not deleted from the project. This would keep the stored information about the layer in the project. When the project is next opened while connected to the internet these layers would be available without having to enter them again.
Is there currently a way to do this? Or should I add an enhancement request issue for this idea?

<pre wrap="">I think this is a widely desired feature, and something I'd very much
like to see available "out of the box".
For 2.x there is a plugin "changeDataSource" which allows this
behavior. I don't think that plugin is available for 3.x yet.

Just to second this statement: any contribution that works towards this
goal (especially for QGIS core) gets my full support! (for a long time
already ;)
