Jinja "[[ x ]]" in the default of a parameter y always reuses x's default (if it exists) regardless of user input to x

In v6.0.0-a.5, the following copier.yml always renders email’s default prompt as [e-mail] regardless of the input to the username and organization variables. In v5.1.0, email default prompt was based on the input to the username and organization variables.

# default
username:
    type: str
    default: "foo"

organization:
    type: str
    default: "example"

email:
    type: str
    # Notice that both `username` and `organization` have been already asked
    default: "[[ username ]]@[[ organization ]].com"

Additionally, if the default of organization is also a jinja template, emails default will not use the rendered organization default value.

Hi, I’ve run into this issue today testing a new setup with 6.0.0a6 With a really basic copier.yaml

username:
    type: str
    default: me

organization:
    type: str
    default: there

email:
    type: str
    # Notice that both `username` and `organization` have been already asked
    default: "[[ username ]]@[[ organization ]].com"

final:
    type: str
    # Notice that both `username` and `organization` have been already asked
    default: "Hello: [[ email ]]"

Running this without overriding the defaults results in expected behavior, until the template of a template:

anl@STEP:~/test$ copier ../template .

No git tags found in template; using HEAD as ref
🎤 username? Format: str me
🎤 organization? Format: str there
🎤 email? Format: str [e-mail]
🎤 final? Format: str Hello: [[ username ]]@[[ organization ]].com

However as reported, even when I overwrite the defaults at the prompt, they’re still used in the templated default:

anl@STEP:~/test$ copier ../template .

No git tags found in template; using HEAD as ref
🎤 username? Format: str foo
🎤 organization? Format: str bar
🎤 email? Format: str [e-mail]
🎤 final? Format: str Hello: [[ username ]]@[[ organization ]].com

I had the same problem trying to use earlier variables in where: keys, the default is always provided by the variable, or None if no default is set.

Thanks! Let’s consider it fixed then. Please reopen otherwise.
