Is there a way to "toggle" a burrow ON and OFF after it's been created and populated, or is the only way to add & subtract dwarfs from it?  It's a pain in the butt with long lists of dwarfs, and I don't want to delete a complex burrow in order to "turn it off" temporarily.

I'm not talking about using a civilian alert... just regular burrows.  Can DFHack do this?

(Yes, I searched the forum and wiki already)

PTW. Civilian alert is all I know, and burrows are still frustrating for me.

As far as I know you can't disable regular burrows, but have to add/remove members, which I agree is a pain even with two dorfs for nuptial encouragement or dwarflet production purposes (especially since adding them to burrows results in cancellation spam that won't stop until you give up and remove them from the burrow if they were in the process of hauling something).

I'm sure it CAN be done with DFHacking, but it wouldn't be trivial, as DF doesn't have any way to disable burrows internally, so you'd probably have to fake it by creating a permanent storage to which you move the burrow members when the burrow is disabled and move them back when it is enabled, while, at the same time, somehow allow you to see who the members of an inactive burrow are and manipulate that set. Obviously, there may also be an easy way I fail to think of...

PatrikLundell, thank you.
The answer I feared, that is. 
Another, is there?
