I have a slot reminder_subject. This slot accept any random text as user input. I want bot to treat this user message as a value. Is there any way to define type for this slot as Free text in domain.yml. I have read FormAction but not getting clarity how to implement this use case My story for this looks like this - set_reminder utter_what_reminder_for set_reminder{“reminder_subject”: “movie with family”} slot{“reminder_subject”: “movie with family”} utter_ask_time time_info{“time”: “2018-09-24T16:00:00.000Z”, “number”: 4.0} slot{“number”: 4.0} slot{“time”: “2018-09-24T16:00:00.000Z”} action_set_reminder User and bot conversation would look like this - User: Set reminder Bot: What is the reminder for? User: movie with family Bot: When you want to be reminded? User: tomorrow at 5 pm

[image] aplamhden22: However, we’re also working on a new verison of the form action where you’ll be able to input free text without paying much attention to the intent. we’ll be merging this in the next few weeks Curious to know if this has been implemented and released. I am badly waiting for this feature.

Yes to both of your questions: read more in our docs

Thanks. Are you referring to from_text() ?

from_text() doesn’t see to be pulling the freetext input of the user after activation of requeststatus_form, do you know what could be the issue? class IncStatus(FormAction): """Check INC Status FormAction""" def name(self): """Unique identifier of the form""" return "requeststatus_form" @staticmethod def required_slots(tracker: Tracker) -> List[Text]: """A list of required slots that the form has to fill""" return ["requestnum"] def slot_mappings(self): # type: () -> Dict[Text: Union[Dict, List[Dict]]] """A dictionary to map required slots to - an extracted entity - intent: value pairs - a whole message or a list of them, where a first match will be picked""" return {"requestnum": [self.from_text()]} def submit(self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher, tracker: Tracker, domain: Dict[Text, Any]) -> List[Dict]: """Define what the form has to do after all required slots are filled""" # utter submit template dispatcher.utter_template('utter_request_status', tracker) return [] Story * greet - utter_greet * request_status - requeststatus_form - form:{"name": "requeststatus_form"} - utter_request_status * goodbye - utter_goodbyes domain actions: - utter_goodbye - utter_greet - utter_thanks - utter_ask_inc - utter_request_status entities: - request - requestnum forms: - requeststatus_form intents: - request_status: use_entities: false - greet - inform - goodbye - thanks slots: inc: auto_fill: false type: unfeaturized request: type: text requested_slot: type: unfeaturized templates: utter_ask_requestnum: - text: Please provide the incident number in this format (INC000012345678) utter_goodbye: - text: Talk to you later! - text: See ya! - text: Bye! utter_greet: - buttons: - payload: Status of Request title: Status of Request text: "Hey there!

Hi, I am also facing the same isse while writing the custom action based on user input. The flow is breaking.
