Updating prompt, after every command, is that possible?

[DesantBucie]

Let's say i have a code that sets prompt depending on some variable. Now as I can see running tcsh 6.21.00 (Astron) 2019-05-08 (x86_64-apple-darwin) options wide,nls,dl,bye,al,kan,sm,rh,color,filec the prompt is only read on shell startup and then if variable changes it won't be updated. Is it possible to make that update when variable changes?

example logic

set var=2
if var =~ 2
    set prompt = "blabla"
else
   set prompt ="lalala"

Perhaps you can use a postcmd alias that sets the prompt? or quote the variable in the prompt so that it is not immediately expanded.
