Partial Run for Apps

[andrewdatakim]

I would like to see a way to partially execute  a workflow (specifically for an App) for the purposes of allowing user to make selections based on a dynamic data flow.

Ex:

1. Database Selection Interface

Click Next

2. Select from available columns to pass through to the output file.

Click Next

3. Pick from selected fields which fields should be pivoted.

Output file and complete run time

This was a simple example to explain a case, but the most common use I could see is for APIs.

Step-through - very interesting idea! 

That would certainly help with debugging!

It can also be useful for simple workflows. It would help to run a workflow partially if we need to see some of the results without running the whole query.

This would be fantastic to re-investigate.

I appreciate that something similar can be done with Control Containers, but not quite. Being able to run workflows partially would also be nice for caching (why do I need to containerise the rest of my workflow and disable it to cache and run five tools into my workflow)
