Hello Rasa community, I’m using custom output payload as outlined here . Here is a snippet of my domain.yml file which contains the utter_ask_howdoing: utter_ask_howdoing: - custom: intent: "" message: "I'm doing great. Glad you asked!" response: [] type: "message" When sending “How are you” to the bot I get this response: [ { "recipient_id": "eee", "custom": { "intent": "", "message": "I'm doing great. Glad you asked!", "response": [], "type": "message" } } ] That’s great because this is exactly what I want. However, when checking the logs, I find this warning: rasa_1 | 2019-06-20 08:10:06 ERROR rasa.core.nlg.template - Failed to fill utterance template '{'custom': {'intent': '', 'message': "I'm doing great. Glad you asked!", 'response': [], 'type': 'message'}}'. Tried to replace 'text' but could not find a value for it. There is no slot with this name nor did you pass the value explicitly when calling the template. Return template without filling the template. rasa_1 | Traceback (most recent call last): rasa_1 | File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rasa/core/nlg/template.py", line 114, in _fill_template_text rasa_1 | text = re.sub(r"{([^\n]+?)}", r"{0[\1]}", template["text"]) rasa_1 | KeyError: 'text' I think it’s due to me using the ‘type’ property, is that right? How to fix it?

Yes, we actually ran into this issue a few weeks ago, I fixed it here . Updating to the latest rasa should fix it! :slight_smile:

Not your fault at all! I forgot to add to the changelog :slight_smile:

Hi, I noticed that these custom output payload work fine now after the fix, but it ended up not replacing the intended variables with the available slots. utter_ask_something: - custom: name: “{name}” size: “{size}”

Hi @masterchief1s1k , you’re correct, at the moment, we only replace variables from within the text: field (and not any text fields nested within custom fields). There’s already an issue open for it that we will hopefully get around to soon. It would also be a great first contribution if you’re a python coder who would be willing to contribute!

Good to know it’s an open issue! I will see whether i can come up with a quick fix for this and contribute what i might find.

That would be awesome! Here is the relevant issue: Fill slots in other parts of utterance templates than text · Issue #3763 · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub The logic in the code is found here: rasa/template.py at master · RasaHQ/rasa · GitHub

Hello, this issue was marked as solved a year ago, but it is not listed in any release yet, do you have an idea of when it’s going to come out?
