Topic: Prevent Program Fixpoint from auto-proving obligations

I have a Program Fixpoint definition that generates two obligations and is able to automatically prove one of them.

However, it takes a long time to do so, and I could probably prove it manually without much effort.

Is there a way to prevent Program Fixpoint to try to automatically prove the obligations?

You can change the tactic that gets run to solve the obligations, so I guess setting it locally to idtac would do the trick?

Set the obligation tactic so that it gives up eagerly on your goal, for instance Obligation Tactic := idtac.; if you want to prevent only some of the goals from being solved by the obligation tactic, you can also use a variation of what's presented there.

Cool! Setting Local Obligation Tactic := intros. is slightly more useful than idtac and does the trick. Thank you :)
