Question Is there a way to pause the VFX graph in the Edit Mode game view?

    I have an always-running VFX graph in my game. In the scene view, you can hide VFX graph effects by using the "toggle skybox/other effects" button, but if I have my Game view visible in Edit Mode, the VFX constantly animates. I can temporarily pause it if I open the graph and use the game object inspector to stop the playback, but once I enter and leave Play mode it will go back to constantly animating in the Game view. Is there a way to disable that? If not, is there an easier workaround than disabling the effect and writing a script to enable the effect when the game starts?
