MDI transform throws error even if not getting executed

When a transformation has 2 (or more) MDI transforms, the MDI transform which does not got executed will throw an initiating error although no rows are present.

Error message in this case is:

In the attached image, the pipeline goes down the arrow path, there are not rows present on the path which says Query present. Still the MDI transform trows and error as described above.
