Describe the bug

When attempting to update auth via amplify update auth so that I can add a custom pre signup trigger. When I get past all of the other questions I have no lambdas generated and an empty object in my auth/<app>/cli-inputs.json

Expected behavior

I expected my backend/functions directory to have newly generated lambdas for pre signup (and any others selected) so that I could modify them. I also expected my cli-inputs.json file to have a triggers key that was populated with the specific triggers I needed.

Reproduction steps

Hey @pmm4654 :wave: thanks for raising this! Looking at the pasted CLI output it looks as if the triggers were "enabled", but a functionality was not chosen

? Which triggers do you want to enable for Cognito Post Authentication, Post Confirmation, Pr
e Authentication, Pre Sign-up
? What functionality do you want to use for Post Authentication
? What functionality do you want to use for Post Confirmation
? What functionality do you want to use for Pre Authentication
? What functionality do you want to use for Pre Sign-up

Can you confirm whether choosing a "functionality" adds the Functions to your project?

I had selected "Create your own module". I retried these steps today and it now seems like the module is actually being created when it wasn't before. The only thing that changed was a complete restart of the computer. Hopefully this continues to work as expected - thanks for the reply @josefaidt
