hi @patilpooja ! what you want to do is create a form and add a validation method for the ‘color’ slot, see Forms

Alan, I would like to try without form. Something with “other” parameter for categorical slots?

yes, you could also do that. Probably the best way to do that is to set auto_fill to False for your colour slot, and then implement the logic in a custom action to check whether the colour is valid and return a SlotSet event
