I am trying to print a slot type of list in bot utterance, it is printing successfully. But I need to format it.

**Slot**

```
  slots:
   hospital_list:
     type: list

  utter_list_of_hospital:
   - text: Here are the available hospitals {hospital_list}

```

In the shell it prints,

```
   Here are the available hospitals ['Oasis Hospital', 'Mediclinic Al Jowhara']

```

I am setting the slot ` hospital_list` using a custom action.

**actions.py**

```
   def run(self,dispatcher,tracker,domain):
         data_lst = ['Oasis Hospital', 'Mediclinic Al Jowhara']
         return [SlotSet("hospital_list",data_lst)]

```

I need to print like

```
  Here are the available hospitals:
     * Oasis Hospital
     * Mediclinic Al Jowhara

```

How can i do this?

You can juse [Python String join() Method!](https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_string_join.asp)

**actions.py**

```
def run(self,dispatcher,tracker,domain):
         data_lst = ['Oasis Hospital', 'Mediclinic Al Jowhara']
         return [SlotSet("hospital_list",(', '.join(data_lst)))]
```
