Customizing Terraform Input
I have to take 7 inputs from the user in Terraform. Each time when i take input, it shows "Enter a value", which will give user a little confusion.
Can i change "Enter a Value" to my custom like "Enter AWS Region" and so on?

Use an argument "description" inside your variable declaration block. It is used to give a human-friendly description for that variable which is primarily for documentation for users using your Terraform configuration. Terraform will prompt the description when asking to input value.
variable "bucket_name"
description = "A cool name for your bucket."
type = "string"

You can add a bash wrapper around terraform using bash and define a few TF_VAR_name variables before you call the terraform command.
