Hi,

Is there a way so that i can set a static value / string from actions to a slot without any entity extraction? I am doing it like this on my custom actions

class ActionResetPass(Action): def name(self):

return ‘next_action_ask_user_empID’

def run(self, dispatcher, tracker, domain):

      app_post_action = tracker.get_slot('app_post_action')
  

  response = 'Please enter your employee id '

  				
  dispatcher.utter_message(response)
  return [SlotSet('app_post_action','Listen_User')]

is it possible or not? i have my slot type text
