I am playing with the form module. One challenge I have is collecting/populating slot. Below entities and slots are declared in domain as type unfeaturized I did the following in story.

\*\*case 1 \*\*:

- intent 1

- utter\_ask\_mbrName

- inform{“mbrName”: “”}

**case 2 (following the restaurant example)**:

- intent 2

- form: member\_form
- slot{“mbrName”:""}

**case 3 (following the restaurant example)**:

- intent 3

- member\_form
- form{“name”: "member\_form}
- slot {“mbrName”, “”}

I checked the slotset after each case run. All three cases failed to populate the mbrName slot. Thanks a lot,
