I use a form and check if the content of the slots matches with the symptoms for a cold, if not it matches with symptoms with a flu. Wich worked fine during the last weeks. Today I updates Rasa X (now 0.34.0) and Rasa (now 2.1.3) and I get only what happens under “else” although I make my answers true for “if”. I checked multiple times if there could be a typo, but there isn’t. Any ideas? The actions.py looks like this: class SymptomQuizDiseases: cold = [["discomfort_slow", "symptom_light", "false", "false", "feel_listless"], ... ]] responseCold = "It's a cold." flu = [["discomfort_fast", "symptom_heavy", "true", "true", "feel_bad"], ... ] responseFlu = "It's a flu." class SymptomQuizSubmission(Action): def name(self): return "submit_symptom_quiz_result" def run( self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher, tracker: Tracker, domain: DomainDict ): slot_list = [tracker.get_slot("discomfort_beginning"),tracker.get_slot("discomfort_development"),tracker.get_slot("temperature"),tracker.get_slot("body_aches"),tracker.get_slot("physical_condition")] if slot_list in SymptomQuizDiseases.cold: dispatcher.utter_message(SymptomQuizDiseases.responseCold) else: dispatcher.utter_message(SymptomQuizDiseases.responseFlu) return [] The form part of my domain.yml forms: symptom_quiz_form: body_aches: - intent: affirm type: from_intent value: true - intent: deny type: from_intent value: false discomfort_beginning: - intent: feel_bad type: from_intent value: discomfort_fast - intent: slow type: from_intent value: discomfort_slow discomfort_development: - intent: feel_bad type: from_intent value: symptom_heavy - intent: symptom_light type: from_intent value: symptom_light physical_condition: - intent: feel_bad type: from_intent value: feel_bad - intent: feel_listless type: from_intent value: feel_listless temperature: - intent: affirm type: from_intent value: true - intent: deny type: from_intent value: false

Found the mistake myself: It is now necessary to use bool instead of str in actions.py if I set the value to true or false in the domain.yml

Custom actions not working since last update (if - else statement only takes else)
