Is there a way to use a custom action instead of utter_ask_{slot_name} response? I know it used to be possible by changing request_next_slot , but what about the new version where we work with FormValidationAction instead of FormAction? I think this ability to use a custom action instead of utter_ask_{slot_name} can be useful. For example, I want to ask different questions based on the value of other form slots. if tracker.get_slot("other_slot_name") is not None: dispatcher.utter_message(text="text 1") else: dispatcher.utter_message(text="text 2")

Just name your custom action action_ask_<form_name>_<slot_name> or action_ask_<slot_name>, as described here.

Did developers removed method request_next_slot from Form?
