Hi @pb1234, what version of Rasa are you using?
Hi @m.vielkind I´m using rasa 2.1.3
My config.yml file: # Configuration for Rasa NLU. language: es

In your form definition you can define how to perform the slot mappings.
In this example from the docs there is a restaurant_form. When a user interacts with the form they will be prompted for a cuisine then num_people. As the user responds the slots are filled.
forms:
restaurant_form:
cuisine:
- type: from_entity
entity: cuisine
num_people:
- type: from_entity
entity: number
I edited the code so that the “def run …” does something. However, I am not even seeing the printout. Also, only the first utter_ask_ is prompted
class ActionCreateIncidence(Action):
def name(self) -> Text:
return "createincidence_form"
def required_slots(
self, tracker: Tracker,
) -> List[Text]:
required_slots = ["incidencelocation", "damagetype"]
return required_slots
def run(
self, dispatcher: "CollectingDispatcher", tracker: "Tracker",
domain: "Dict") -> List[EventType]:
for slot_name in self.required_slots(tracker):
print(f"SLOT: {slot_name}")Do you have createincidence_form listed as an action in your domain file? And is it possible to share a snippet of the form definition from your domain file?
I did I figure out the isse, I wasn´t launching rasa actions 
However, there are a couple other problems now. The form is not flowing through a conversation, it is asking all the slots to be filled in at once:
Please confirm the information:
Possition of incidence: None.
Type: None.
Rather than utter_ask_{slot}. Also, it is not dispatching utter_submit.
It looks like you are using the forms approach from a legacy version of Rasa. In Rasa 2.0 forms were simplified so that you do not need to define the form with a custom action. In your domain.yml file you should have a form definition similar to:
forms:
createincidence_form:
incidencelocation:
- type: from_text
damagetype:
- type: from_text
What will happen is when the form is initialized the form will prompt the user for each slot value defined in the form (i.e. incidencelocation, damagetype in this example). As the user responds the slots are filled with those responses.
When the form completes you can have a custom action to process the results from the user.
Do you have a form defined like the one above in your domain file you could share?
Hi Vielkind, I had it set up as follows:
forms:
createincidence_form:
incidencelocation:
- type: from_entity
entity: incidencelocation
damagetype:
- type: from_entity
entity: damagetype
I changed it to the format you have above and I got the same reponce from the bot.
By the way I forgot to mention that the reply above is my “utter_submit” reply from the bot. So the form seems to be closing before asking for the entities.
Hi I created a new simple document to test these issues, I am having the same problems. config.yml: # Configuration for Rasa NLU. language: en

@pb1234 You do not need your custom action to loop through form slots. Rasa will automatically loop through the slots in your form for you. In your domain file remove createincidence_form from the actions section. Because your action and form are named the same it looks like the action is being executed instead of the form. Once you remove the action Rasa should loop through the form questions and fill the slots with the user provided values.
