Nested Questions Asked Incorrectly

[davidbrownell]

Describe the problem

I have a template with a choice of 2 values, where a different question should be asked based on the previous choice.

project_type:
  type: str
  choices:
    - One
    - Two

one_question:
  type: bool
  when: "{{ project_type == 'One' }}"
  default: False

two_question:
  type: bool
  when: "{{ project_type == 'Two' }}"
  default: False

In addition, an additional question should be asked if the response to one of the choice-specific questions was True:

one_nested:
  type: bool
  when: "{{ one_question }}"
  default: False

two_nested:
  type: bool
  when: "{{ two_question }}"
  default: False

Things work as expected when running copier copy... the first time around. However, when running copier copy... (on the same target directory) with a different choice, copier prompts for an answer to the original nested question in addition to the nested question associated with the new choice (this is clearer in the screenshots below).

Template

https://github.com/davidbrownell/copier-TemplateIssue

To Reproduce

1. Run copier copy https://github.com/davidbrownell/copier-TemplateIssue <output_dir>
2. Answer project_type: One, one_question: Y, one_nested: Y
3. Run copier copy https://github.com/davidbrownell/copier-TemplateIssue <output_dir>
4. Answer project_type: Two
5. Note that you are prompted to answer one_nested even though one_question has defaulted to False.

Logs

No response

Expected behavior

one-related questions should not be asked when the project_type is set to Two.

That's probably because it's getting the answer from the last update. Try with this:

one_nested:
  type: bool
  when: "{{ project_type == 'One' and one_question }}"
  default: False

two_nested:
  type: bool
  when: "{{ project_type == 'Two' and two_question }}"
  default: False

That's what I suspected too. Does that make sense though? Shouldn't we have recopy do this only, and not copy?
