I'm a little lost

TypeScript
appwrite init project --organization-id my_actual_organiztion_id --project-name "test" --project-id "unique_id"
Info: For detailed error pass the --verbose or --report flag
Error: Missing required parameter: "name"```
with verbose it just adds

AppwriteException: Missing required parameter: "name" at Projects.create (file:///home/wocas/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/appwrite-cli/node_modules/@appwrite.io/console/dist/esm/sdk.js:15174:19) at initProject (file:///home/wocas/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/appwrite-cli/dist/lib/commands/init.js:83:42) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) { code: 0, type: '', response: '' }```

I'm trying to create an api for myself to create a project per tenant i know this isn't really the way to multitenandancy but I need to use appwrite features like smtp and domains per tenant so just one project does not do it.

But now I'm trying to setup a script to automate the project creation and I can't get further then this....

TL;DR
Developers encountering a CLI error when trying to initialize a project in Appwrite. The error states "Missing required parameter: 'name'". The developer mentions the need for multiple projects for tenants but is stuck on this issue. The error likely originates from a missing 'name' parameter when initializing the project. Be sure to include the necessary 'name' parameter when running the initialization command.
