See notes from @CWesener above.
Security constraints and app open state implicated in this constraint. Since this did not get voted on by others, I am just statusing for myself and can live with this.
@archanan to update status.
May I ask for additional detail related to this idea:
-Are you saying that you would like to stop real time data updates during the build of an app only?
-Do you want the updates to only occur when you specifically press the play button - or would this configuration prevent run time updates completely until the app is published?
-What experiences will this ability improve for you?
Would love to understand your vision better. We really want to facilitate app building for everyone.
Thank you,
Audrie
List is too long to status (please enter 1 idea per forum post so that others may vote appropriately)
As per our recent release:
GRID CONTROL: The new Data table control! Learn more about it here: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/control-data-table/
Do you mind expanding upon the types of scenarios you'd like to see in this template? What are your key expectations, and what would you use this template to do?
Also, don't hesitate to let us know if you'd like this primarily for learning purposes, in which case I may be able to release a blog on the topic this month.
Thank you in advance for your clarifications.
I am not sure what you mean by in vertical orientation. PowerApps studio should always open in landscape orientation, unless you are referring to the phone app player?
Thank you for your feedback on this point. Improvements to the experience are definitely on our roadmap.
Thank you,
Audrie
@archanan as FYI
Adding @archanan for review status.
I apologize for not getting back to you earlier on this. This is such a cool idea! I believe this was completed between your post and the current release, because I was able to do it using the method highlighted on this blog which I posted with you in mind:
Could you please give that a try and let me know if it works for you too?
Thank you again for your continued feedback, patience, and support!

There have been many enhancements to API usage and connectors since you have posted this comment.
Would you be willing to review these two resources to let me know if they are sufficient for your needs?

Thank you.

Azure DocumentDB connector is available.
Although the desktop App Studio is not supported for Win 7 users, you may continue to play and create apps using the Web Authoring Studio as long as you leverage a supported browser.
Thank you,
Audrie
As per @archanan this is planned.
