I believe there are times that entity extraction might not do perfect job although it says it “extracted”. So I wanted to incoporate user data confirmation for certain slots. The method I implemented is almost working with one issue and I would like to know: If there is better way to handle Why there is an issue (slot setting not happening later than desired point) in the approach below. To Achieve this, I have 2 slots - distance_to_run and distance_to_run_confirmed. First it ask for distance_to_run. Then next ask for confirmation by emitting {distance_to_run} is correct? and the result is set to distance_to_run_confirmed. If distance_to_run_confirmed is set to “no”, then I reset distance_to_run and distance_to_run_confrimed to None. Then it ask for distance_to_run and distance_to_run_confirmed again. This is almost working except that when 2nd time the Bot utter {distance_to_run} is correct?, the distance_to_run slot is not set YET. I think this is similar issue I raised here ( When FollowupAction is specified, should all predicted event that has not been executed be reverted? ) as if slot setting needs to happen earlier. Please see the log below and my annotations starts with ‘***’. *** Here it shows user input is “no” to distance_to_run_confirmed. *** It then setting slot value to None from FormAction *** It then asking distance_to_run again. All good so far. There is an active form 'target_pace_form' You've entered race distance 5. Is this correct? 1: Yes (yes) 2: No (no) 2018-12-17 13:23:55 DEBUG rasa_core.processor - Received user message 'no' with intent '{'name': 'inform', 'confidence': 0.8256822228431702}' and entities '[{'start': 0, 'end': 2, 'value': 'no', 'entity': 'confirm', 'confidence': 0.521670464355981, 'extractor': 'ner_crf'}]' 2018-12-17 13:23:55 DEBUG rasa_core.processor - Current slot values: distance_to_run: 5 distance_to_run_confirmed: None 2018-12-17 13:23:55 DEBUG rasa_core.processor - Action 'target_pace_form' ended with events '['SlotSet(key: distance_to_run_confirmed, value: None)', 'SlotSet(key: distance_to_run, value: None)', 'SlotSet(key: requested_slot, value: distance_to_run)']' 2018-12-17 13:23:55 DEBUG rasa_core.processor - Bot utterance 'BotUttered(text: What is the race distance?, data: { "elements": null, "buttons": null, "attachment": null })' What is the race distance? *** User input ‘3 miles’ 2018-12-17 13:23:57 DEBUG rasa_core.processor - Received user message '3 miles' with intent '{'name': 'inform', 'confidence': 0.970073938369751}' and entities '[{'start': 0, 'end': 7, 'text': '3 miles', 'value': 3, 'confidence': 1.0, 'additional_info': {'value': 3, 'type': 'value', 'unit': 'mile'}, 'entity': 'distance', 'extractor': 'ner_duckling_http'}, {'start': 0, 'end': 1, 'value': '3', 'entity': 'race_distance', 'confidence': 0.5493077740375564, 'extractor': 'ner_crf'}]' 2018-12-17 13:23:57 DEBUG rasa_core.processor - Current slot values: distance_to_run: None dist…

Could you please try tracker-updated-utterance branch of rasa_core_sdk?
