is there a way to create Keystone lists in runtime after keystone initialisation?

I'd like to create a KeystoneJs (v5.0.6) during runtime as some lists might be dynamically generated by the user.

If I run the following command after keystone has been intialised, I get the error: "Error: keystone.createList must be called before keystone.prepare()"

keystone.createList("MyDynamicList", {
    fields: {
      name: { type: Text },
      email: {
        type: Text,
        isUnique: true,
      },
    },
  });

Is there a way lists can be generated dynamically during runtime?

this is not possible, all the lists (and fields) has to be provided in keystone.createList method. keystone generates all the schema for GraphQL before you run keystone.connect.

There was a PR and request for delaying initialization in case someone wanted to add a field using a plugin before keystone.connect call which was denied.

Based on that discussion it is highly unlikely that this type of request even be priority for long.
