Hey @Michal_Singer.  
The answer is similar to the other question over [here](https://ask.lenses.io/t/is-it-possible-to-disable-topic-auto-creation-for-the-lenses-s3-source-connector/170/2).

- Basically, this is something you need to disable at the Kafka broker level, not Lenses.
- Go to your Kafka brokers and update the configuration to: `auto.create.topics.enable=false` .

I hope this helps 🙂 .
