How to unpublish or disable webform components without code for d7? How  to unpublish or disable webform components without code for d7?

I've seen answers to do this programmatically, but I'm looking for a simple "unpublish" or "disable" field from back end GUI, is that possible?
Webform itself offers no UI-based method for disabling/un-publishing components.

Unless you can find something in contrib that can help (or perhaps convince the developer of webform to add it as a feature), you'll need custom code to achieve it.

As an example you may be able to configure Webform Conditional to disable fields unconditionally, or based on a contrived condition, to simulate the effect. But it wasn't necessarily built for the purpose you need.
