I need to use Actionform and after every utterances i would like to save the response text as a slot value , i have tried the custom slot mapping self.from\_text() but its not working i think , and the error occurs failed to extract slot value , and one more thing is their Got mapping in the cmd on which actions is running with debug , is Got mapping ‘{‘type’: ‘from\_entity’, ‘entity’: ‘name’, ‘intent’: [], ‘not\_intent’: [], ‘role’: None, ‘group’: None}’ , i am not getting why the type is from\_entity , i have written only self.text\_from, help me with this , please guide me with a better solution as i new to rasa . Thank you

Hi @Panka_Patidar. Would you be able to share the implementation of your form action here so that I could look into it and potentially spot an issue?

class Registrationform(FormAction):

```
def name(self):
    return "Register_form"

@staticmethod
def required_slots(Tracker):

    return ["name", "surname"]

def slot_mapping(self):
    return{'name':[self.from_text()],
            "surname":[self.from_text()]
        }
        
def submit(self,dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,tracker: Tracker,domain: Dict[Text, Any],) -> List[Dict]:
    dispatcher.utter_template("utter_submit",Tracker)
    return []

```

Try the following for each slot:

```
   type: unfeaturized
   autofill: false
```
