Look in the customize dialog, not the chain links dialog. Next to the chain name.
Edit: Sorry. I thought you wanted to disable a chain not an action. If you want to disable an action set to condition that evaluate to false. The same as you did. But and easier way to enter 1 as a template and 2 as condition value (using the = operator), that will always evaluate to false.

You can write these action(s) for yourself as custom actions if you want this be a generalized solution, but I think it is opening a can of worms.

I don't think there's any good way to halt a chain in progress, is there?  |
I did not include this feature because of the reasons outlined in the quotes above. However, I did demonstrate how to
run it from code.
