Hello Folks @iforno

I had a similar issue, I wanted to fill a categorial slot with information to indicate a result from a financial transaction (success, fail), so I used a custom action to set the slot’s value.

It might help. Greetings.

But how are you calling it? While in a validation_form method the return is just {“form_being_validated”: value}

I wanted to set another slot IF the validation is not ok, so did @iforno if I understood right.

def validate_form(self):
      if valid:
        return {"slot": value}
    else:
        return [SlotSet("anotherSlot", "value"),{"slot": None}]
