Cache and Run All Workflow Inputs

As a developer I want to Cache & Run all/selected inputs in a Workflow with one command. Maybe even with a keyboard shortcut?

@fmvizcainoas an alternative method (until this is implemented, if ever) I've started converting large .xlsx input files to .yxdb inputs (using a separate canvas) and I don't cache the .yxdb's on the main canvas. It's been working okay and I don't feel the need to cache anything anymore, if one's okay with splitting what could be one workflow into 2-3 individual ones

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for supporting this idea. Designer currently allows you to select multiple input tools (via Ctrl + select or selecting multiple at once) and then cache them (first image below).

 

Does this currently meet your need? Or do you explicitly want a new option and shortcut in the context menu (second image below)?

Hi

 

Thanks for your reply. 

Actually it does not meet my needs due sometimes we have more than 20 different inputs and ctrl + selecting could be time consuming so a shortcut / new option would be highly appreciated! 

 

Kind regards

Mattias

We recognize that this would be a useful feature, but it does not take precedence over near-term priorities.
