No option to exclude dependencies from schema model update

When I go to commit a change using Flyway Desktop, the "schema update" will almost always include extra artifacts that I did not choose.
These are listed as dependencies, but due to my data model (many foreign keys) and a generous definition of "dependencies" (e.g., a stored procedure references a table, and another stored procedure references a table with a foreign key relationship to the first table, which apparently means both objects are going to be committed), I almost never actually want to commit these objects together.
I can work around by only choosing some items in the "commit changes" window, but then I have a whole pile of other things sitting there waiting to be committed, and it's a huge pain. My team's workflow is to hop back and forth between Visual Studio and Flyway, undoing and removing unwanted items before committing.
Is there a way to "ignore dependencies" when saving changes to my schema model?

Yes there is!
As noted, the dependencies are included by default, this option is governed by the property 'IncludeDependencies' as detailed here.

In the Flyway GUI, if you navigate to 'Static data and comparisons', the option will look like this
