Let cache utilize upstream cache

I like the new cache option in 2018.3, but I would like it to function a little bit different. Let's say you cache at a certain point and then continue to build after that. If I reach another checkpoint and want to cache, it currently re-runs the entire workflow (ie it ignores my cache upstream and just goes back to the beginning of the workflow); instead, I would rather have it utilize the upstream cache. Personally, caching is usually an iterative effort during development where I keep caching along the way. The current functionality of the cache is not conducive to this. Thanks!

I also support what Claje has proposed. This would definitely speed up my work!

Thank you for suggesting this! As of the 2020.1 release, caching a tool downstream from a cached tool will utilize the upstream cache instead of start the entire workflow over. The release notes for 2020.1 are available here.
