 ## Description
 
 The `Pressure` Action is used to create a set of pressure boundary conditions for a string of displacement variables; the typical use case for this action is the application of hydrostatic pressure. See the description, example use, and parameters on the [Pressure](/Pressure/index.md) action system page.
+
+!alert warning
+When using the [Controls system](syntax/Controls/index.md) to control the active status of the Pressure boundary conditions,
+the [!param](/BCs/Pressure/enable) must be set explicitly in the input file AND the [Pressure.md] boundary conditions can no longer
+be controlled individually, they will all follow the same enabled/disabled status.
