[Custom starters] Is there a way to make sure that some of the prompts from starter’s cookiecutter prompts will be actual

bool

? We experience an issue where all values from the interactive prompts are being casted to

str

, which is really inconvenient for `true`/`false` values, because they enforce such syntax:

{%- if <http://cookiecutter.my|cookiecutter.my>_flag != "False" %}

.

I think we’re reaching the limits of cookiecutter here. I’ve been tracking projects like copier and cruft, longer term there is an initiative to rework this journey too

If that’s considered, then maybe the prompting mechanism could also be re-worked, because right now when you make a mistake (failing to match validation regex), the whole process exists and you have to type everything again

For that I think we only have one prompt in Kedro new now.

Custom starters can have > 1 prompt

In that sense I guess the simplest change is to catch the exception and re-prompt for the same input until user input a valid value?
