I have Azure function with timer trigger.

public static void Run([TimerTrigger("0 */15 * * * *"), Disable("True")]TimerInfo myTimer, TraceWriter log)

Here the Disable("true") is not working. it generates the function.json as "disabled": "True", which is not correct. It should be "disabled": True, Disable only accepts string value. Is there any way to change this? or any other way to disable function?

Disable properties default values is true.

Use Disable() instead of Disable("true").

So the code will look like

public static void Run([TimerTrigger("0 */15 * * * *"), Disable()]TimerInfo myTimer, TraceWriter log) .

If you want to enable the function use Disable("False").
