      When I toggle the Firewall Rules enabled/disabled status, the appropriate action on the right is displayed but the toggle itself does not change visually. I believe the toggle shows the block/pass status only.

      In Firewall NAT the toggle shows the appropriate enable/disable action.

      Inconsistent gui for the same action was confusing to me at first but I figured it out.

          In Firewall rules clicking the check mark on the left will toggle enabled/disabled status. The circle backslash action on the right is a hint that the rule is enabled.

          In Firewall NAT clicking the check mark on the left will toggle enabled/disabled status. The check mark will change to X when toggled.

          Try it.

            when I click rule in firewall to disable or enable it greys out if disabled and not greyed out if enabled

            When I toggle a nat it goes grey and x and or check blue check and not grey when enabled.  Your wanting the firewall rule to also show x when its disabled?

            I think the nat goes to X vs check to show you that its not natting or port forwarding.  While the firewall rule being disabled it still shown as green check to show allowed just not enabled.

              It is just that I started with NAT changes first and I noticed the X when disabled. After, I worked on Rules and was looking for the X change. When it did not changed to X I was under the wrong impression that it did not toggle properly. It is all good now.
