It uses the same entity names, if you put slot type as list, for the same entity name and slot name - values will be filled your NLU replies with multiple pairs of key: entity\_name, value:XYZ, and for a list slot type, it will look through the entity name and store all it’s value in the list. I never need to have list slots though i suppose this is how it should be given the code Check it out. ---

Hi Nikhil, Could you please share a sample of nlu.md where you use this list type slot? I am trying to implement the same. Here is what I have in nlu.md- ##intent: allocation what is the allocation to planning, development and implementation then in my domail.yml, i have- entities: - allocation\_bucket slots: allocation\_bucket: type: list then I trained my nlu and core model. But it is not able to extract the allocation\_bucket slot values for the above example in nlu.md Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you, Shruti ---
