Do you have better proposal? How would you solve the main problem, That you wanna debug/toggle Certain set of modifiers?

Do you understand the main problem?

Please Freemind open your a mind a bit, and try to understand the case here. There are other workflows than yours people are using everyday. some of those needs a support too. IE for heavy modlers like me and plenty others out there.

I feel that hitting Downvote just because u don't understand something, is not the proper attitude when it comes to proposals.

Please help making it a good proposal instead.

Select multiple modifiers, press the eye icon to toggle it on all selected modifiers. We can't do that now, but that would be the easy solution.

Currently, what you can do is add drivers. One visibility button drives the other. This is very easy to do.

Yeah but imagine doing it on 10+k model.. .. each time you fix things... check the final state go back and forth with a large stack of Modifiers. Selecting all the time the few Modifiers than hitting the eye.... is not efficient here.

Use drivers. It's very easy to do.

Right click on the visibility icon of one modifier. Select "Copy as Driver" Right click on the visibility icon on the other modifier. Select "Paste Driver". That's it.

Now the visibility is linked. You do not have to do any modifier selecting or anything after that.

Makes me wonder what you are doing, so that you have to check/toggle your large stack of modifiers on every step, each time you fix things...

Tank tracks for example. You need to edit only one segment and check the whole.
A piece is Beveled arrayed put on curved has two Mirrors, a Weighted normal, subD.

If you apply Bevel, you need to clean up your mesh. Fixing overlapping geo. Each time u have to check if it shades well with SUBD, and check where the curve modifier distorts/bends the segments.

Working on Games not for rendering... need super clean geo.

Beleive me... Your brain is melting after few hours.

I don't get why you are toggling the modifiers. I wouldn't need to toggle multiple modifiers to see why there are shading or topology problems on such tank tracks. Seems pretty obvious.

Btw, I'd recommend not to use the Curve deform modifier for tank tracks if you want to completely avoid deforming the segment mesh. Of course, since these are metal parts, they shouldn't deform at all, right?

A better way, in this case, is instancing. But I think there is no other way to do it, but with geometry nodes. Luckily, it's a very easy setup.

So... if one segment looks fine, the rest of them will too. You can also make each segment slightly different here to add realism.

Yeah but imagine doing it on 10+k model.. .. each time you fix things... check the final state go back and forth with a large stack of Modifiers. Selecting all the time the few Modifiers than hitting the eye.... is not efficient here.

Sure, but your proposal sounds even worse in the scalability matter.

If what you need is more granular tools to manage specific modifiers' visibility, maybe we could think of a tool that allows to manage specific modifiers on a selection of objects, or even a collection.

For example:

A collection-level override

Collections could have a panel where we could see each type of modifier (as in the Add Modifier menu), with their visibility icons.

By default, each option doesn't override the setting. But if you change the state of a button, then it overrides that modifier's visibility setting for each object in that collection that have that modifier.

A Modifier Manager menu

Much like the Collection Manager addon does with collections, we could have a popup menu that lists all the modifiers. The menu could have filters such as selected only , regroup by modifier types , modifier category , and a searchbar if you want to search for a specific modifier name you gave yourself.
The modifier lists itself would have the same controls as any object's modifiers list when modifiers are folded: names and visibility options.
