templates / variables in choices

[exitcode0]

Describe the problem

I'm new to both copier and jinja so perhaps I just need to be pointed in the correct direction

I'm trying to construct the choices option on a question

Template

question_choices:
    default: ["A","B"]
    when: false

actual_question:
    help: "the cake is a lie"
    choices: ["{{question_choices}}"]

question_choices:
    default: ["A","B"]
    when: false

actual_question:
    help: "the cake is a lie"
    choices: "{% for item in {{question_choices}} -%}  - 'name': '{{item}}'{% endfor %}"

I'm afraid what you'd like to do is currently not possible. See also #1193 for a previous discussion.
