Description

if some column or data can be changed or deleted while migrating, django warns like below.

Any objects related to these content types by a foreign key will also be deleted. Are you sure you want to delete these content types? If you're unsure, answer 'no'.

Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel:

but, as I know, I cannot input yes or no using zappa. django provide --noinput options, but it wasn't work because this option selects 'no' automatically. I want to migrate using zappa manage migrate. what should I do?

Research direction
The issue requests the ability to pass additional arguments to the `zappa manage` command. Currently, the command executes Django management commands but does not support arbitrary arguments. The solution involves modifying the `manage` function in `zappa/cli.py` to accept extra arguments and pass them through to the underlying Django command. Research should focus on how the current command parsing works (likely using Click or argparse) and how to forward unrecognized arguments. Check if there is an existing pattern like using ` ` to separate Zappa arguments from Django arguments. Additionally, review any linked PRs or comments for prior attempts. Testing with a real Django project is recommended to verify that arguments like ` noinput` are correctly forwarded.
