@gchandra Thankyou for the response, but the default-python is not asking any input parameters. It is directly creating a sample my_project folder. I asked for a ay to customize inputs from user for choosing. Do you see a way to do this.

Keeping Automation in mind, DAB helps you with custom Templates for customized Inputs.

@gchandra so does that mean there is no way that bundle support custom project name and project type when we do init

you can use the --config-file parameter and pass all the values.

Create a conf.json with the values

{"project_name":"gc","include_notebook":"no","include_dlt":"no","include_python":"yes"}

and call your DAB int this way

databricks bundle init default-python --config-file conf.json

Can you share which terminal you are using?

The command is supposed to provide you with an interactive selection menu. This does not appear if the terminal does not support it, so if you could share which one you're using, we might be able to replicate and investigate.

Thank you!

I use the standard zsh terminal. When in doubt I use --help to find out the options it has.

That's the shell running inside the terminal.

Can you tell the terminal type? E.g. Git BASH, cmd.exe, inside VS Code or else?
