Description
**Description**
While creating a brick that takes multiple inputs, I would like a previously entered input to be usable as a default value for subsequent variable inputs.
Say I'm creating a custom bloc brick that adds a bloc structure to one of my app's pages. Currently I would write something like this:
```yaml
name: my_custom_bloc
description: Generate a new custom Bloc in Dart
version: 0.1.0+1
environment:
mason: ">=0.1.0-dev.32 <0.1.0"
vars:
page:
type: string
description: The name of the page containing the future bloc.
default: login
prompt: What is the page name?
bloc:
type: string
description: The name of the bloc class.
# This input default could be set to what has already been entered for a previous variable
default: login
prompt: What is the bloc name?
```
When executing this brick, I would get something like this:
```shell
mason make my_custom_bloc
? What is the page name? (login) auth
? What is the bloc name? (login) auth
```
which mean if I want to use the same value for both inputs (and that value differs from the default value) I have to enter it two times.
What I would like to do is something like this:
```shell
mason make my_custom_bloc
? What is the page name? (login) auth
? What is the bloc name? (auth) auth # automatically suggested by the brick, based on previous input
```
where the second input default value matches what has been entered by the user for the first input.
I would expect to write a brick definition that looks similar to this:
```yaml
name: my_custom_bloc
description: Generate a new custom Bloc in Dart
version: 0.1.0+1
environment:
mason: ">=0.1.0-dev.32 <0.1.0"
vars:
page:
type: string
description: The name of the page containing the future bloc.
default: login
prompt: What is the page name?
bloc:
type: string
description: The name of the bloc class.
# This input default could be set to what has already been entered for a previous variable
default: {{ page }}
prompt: What is the bloc name?
```
Does that make sense ?
