Scripted or dynamic choices

[sgarfinkel]

I would like to retrieve choices for allowing users to select a field from and LDAP server. Is there anyway to get choices from a script?

I did a little testing and I can see that there’s no way to pass a jinja template as the top-level choices, since a string is an invalid element for choices.

The only hacky way I can think of doing this would be to emit a yaml file with the question that gets included in the base copier.yaml but this would require some way to run a task before prompting, which as far as I know is not possible.

You'd need some jinja extension to do that. El lun, 6 mar 2023, 16:54, Sam Garfinkel ***@***.***> escribió:
