Useful for datacards with complicated likelihoods, that get the confidence intervals for the POIs from e.g. likelihood scans. Option can be supplied when running the impacts and when producing the output json file. While running, this leads to the script only submitting the MultiDimFit jobs for the impacts parameters. While reading the output to produce the json, the combineTool will not look for the output from the initial fit. The crossing points for the POIs have to be added to the json file through another method later for plotImpacts.py to work properly.
Not tested using it together with --approx flag.
