Describe the problem

Consider the following problem

answers = questionary.form(
    first = questionary.text("Hi?"),
    second = questionary.text("Hi again?", default=lambda x: x['first'])
).ask()

Describe the solution

I would like that the answer of the previous question were the default value of the next question. AFAIK, questionary doesn't have this feature.

This option is not possible. However, if you look at the source for form, you will see it is very easy to adapt to add what you desire: it's just looping through the questions.
